Description
Our vision is a world without torture and where communities respect, embrace and empower people from refugee backgrounds to thrive.
Each year, we make a positive difference to the lives of approximately 5,000 people of refugee backgrounds living in Victoria. The Victorian Foundation for Survivors of Torture Inc. (also known as Foundation House) was founded in 1987 to advance the health, wellbeing and human rights of people of refugee background who have experienced torture or other traumatic events. It is non-denominational, politically neutral, non-government and not-for-profit.
We have worked with over 100,000 people from more than 70 different communities and have grown from a single worker to a team of 250 staff across six sites in metropolitan Melbourne and have service provision partnerships with community organisations across regional and rural Victoria.
Foundation House is recognised as a national leader in the provision of trauma-informed and trauma-focused service delivery that effectively supports the recovery and settlement of our clients, their families and their communities. Our organisation is committed to maintaining a culture of continuous improvement at all levels and to being a responsible and positive partner with agencies in our sector, and beyond.
Our services include counselling, advocacy, family support, group work, psychoeducation, information provision and complementary therapies. In addition, we deliver an expansive capacity building and engagement program with refugee communities and provide specialist trauma-informed training programs to professionals in the health, mental health, community, education, legal and government sectors.
Foundation House also plays an active role in the provision of policy advice and advocacy to state and federal governments for improvements in policies and programs that affect the lives of refugees and asylum seekers.
