Marjorie Kovler Center for the Treatment of Survivors of Torture

The Marjorie Kovler Center for the Treatment of Survivors of Torture provides comprehensive services to survivors of officially sanctioned government or political torture who live in Chicago and the Midwest. Medical, mental health, emergency, and other support services help survivors of torture overcome the trauma they have experienced so that they can begin a life in the United States without fear.  Through case management, forensic evaluation, medical treatment, and counseling, Kovler Center staff meet the needs of survivors of torture using a holistic approach to healing.  Treatment is provided by highly trained staff and numerous dedicated volunteers. Survivors are sometimes referred to other Heartland Alliance programs and outside human service organizations.
