Healing begins here.
Mending Together equips everyday people with the tools, confidence, and compassion to support refugees and others who have experienced trauma.
“Healing is never one-way. When we mend together with refugees, we discover the interconnectedness of our collective healing. Ordinary hands can carry extraordinary hope.
Mending Together exists to bridge the relational gap between ordinary, everyday people and refugees. Come along on this journey of mending together!"
CHRIS AND MARCUS, CO-FOUNDERSOur mission
To equip communities of everyday people to meet the mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of all people who have been displaced.
Healing in community
Since 2022, we've served over 80 refugees and care workers across the globe through our programs.
We support refugees as they relearn how to cultivate community through group debriefs and activities.
Voices from the healing journey
"When the crisis happened, I had to flee my home country. I was desperate for a sustainable solution. A friend connected me with the co-founder of Mending Together. They helped me start a new life here in my new country. Without their support, I don’t think I could have managed the cultural transition process on my own. I am grateful for Mending Together.”
Mahtab*, Central Asian Human Rights Defender“I was in a completely different culture from my own, but because of the help I received from Mending Together, I did not feel the difficulties and hardship of culture shock as strongly. This allowed me to focus on healing from war trauma and grief of leaving my family behind. Now, I use the tools I learned to help new refugees transition and resettle.”
Yahya*, Middle Eastern Refugee“I never thought I would experience secondary trauma and compassion burnout simply from working with refugees! Mending Together helped me realize that I was neglecting my own wellbeing. I'm glad that my organization contracted them to help us with debrief and intercultural coaching. Their work is important work to us in the field.”
Olenka*, Eastern European Refugee Care Worker
