Every year PTV sends a delegation of staff to Washington D.C. to advocate on behalf of torture survivors. This February Dr. Jose Quiroga, Dr. Megan Berthold, and Dr. Jene Moio visited the capitol to speak with Congressional Representatives Howard Berman, Henry Waxman, Xavier Becerra, Jane Harman, and Lucille Roybal-Allard. In collaboration with the California Consortium of Torture Treatment Programs, PTV staff also met with Senator Diane Feinstein.
Additionally, Dr. Quiroga and Dr. Berthold were key organizers of the research symposium that was held at this year’s annual meeting of the National Consortium of Torture Treatment Programs in Washington D.C. Dr. Berthold also presented on new research findings.
