The QPASTT logo portrays the recovery process from torture and trauma:

• the rock on which the tree is growing represents the hardship survivors have experienced, both prior and sometimes after migration

• the tree represents the process of regrowth for the individual, families and communities. This is initially very painful but often culminates with flowering again in a new environment

• the branches of the tree are reaching out and re-connecting with others, which in turn, if there is a positive response, feeds the tree’s growth

Overall, despite the hardships survivors of torture and trauma have experienced they have the resilience to blossom again. QPASTT facilitates this process to be less painful and more successful.
