Freedom From Torture (FFT) is the only charity solely dedicated to the care of survivors of torture and provides a range of services including counselling for clients with complex PTSD, medical assessments, pain management, legal and welfare advice and medico/legal reports.
Torture causes long-lasting mental and physical pain. It can take many years for someone to recover from it. FFT helps people come to terms with their experiences and enjoy lives that are as full and happy as possible.
