Advocating Mental Health in Humanitarian Action
What do we do ?
We defend mental health as a fundamental right.
Our organization works to ensure that refugees, asylum seekers and displaced persons can access psychological support that is appropriate, dignified and respectful of their history.
We intervene where trauma is too often ignored: in asylum procedures, refugee camps, conflict zones and host countries.
Why Mental Health ?
The invisible wounds of exile and violence run deep. Too often, the psychological suffering of refugees or displaced persons is ignored, minimized or wrongly pathologized. Yet access to appropriate psychological support is essential to regain stability, rebuild identity, and resume a life.
Our Mission
We work to ensure that mental health is no longer a blind spot in humanitarian action.
We support people who have fled war, torture, sexual violence or persecution, so that they can rebuild themselves.
We also work with professionals, institutions and decision-makers to advocate clearly on psychological issues related to exile, violence and dehumanization.
Our Actions
We provide direct psychological support.
We offer consultations, both individual and group-based, adapted to the exile journey and cultural realities.
We intervene in reception centers, health facilities, camps, but also online to reach the most isolated areas.
We mobilize research, testimonies and field data to challenge national and international authorities.
We denounce policies that worsen psychological suffering and advocate for care systems that include mental health.
