notebook: Rebuilding Communities
In this notebook we learn about how the Center for Victims of Torture (CVT) created local and and long-term capacity building projects in Guinea and Sierra Leone. The CVT trained local refugees to be "mental health specialists" and gave them the skills to begin to rebuild their communities.
