Common Threads Project

Common Threads Project is a is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization devoted to building pathways to lasting psychological recovery for all who experience sexual and gender-based violence. Learn more about CTP at: commonthreadsproject.org

We believe that all survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) are entitled to high quality psychological care. Our mission is to ensure that everyone who survives trauma, regardless of circumstance, has access to that care.

In order to achieve this mission, we focus on three tasks:
1.We build local capacity through training. Rather than placing cultural “outsiders” in our projects, we train local mental health providers to provide treatment following our methodology. 
2.We launch scalable interventions. 
3.We conduct efficacy research. It is our responsibility to ensure that the treatment we help provide is effective in both reducing psychological symptoms and improving mental health.
