People affected by conflict and displacement need more than a single moment of support. They need trusted relationships, spaces where they feel recognised and safe, and care that understands their experiences and identities.
Amna works alongside communities, practitioners and organisations through a connected journey of training, accompaniment and shared learning. Partners develop skills, try approaches in their own settings, and bring questions into mentoring and reflective practice. Support for practitioner wellbeing and organisational change helps this learning become part of everyday care.
Our Healing Ecosystems approach brings this work together. Rather than treating a training course, a community space or an institution as separate activities, we look at how the people and organisations around a community can support one another. Our ambition is to make care more connected, locally led and rooted in the relationships people already trust.
Healing capacity already exists within communities. We prioritise partnerships with local and refugee-led organisations, recognising lived experience, cultural knowledge and trusted relationships as foundations for care shaped by communities themselves.
Our goal is to reach five million refugees in the next five years. Our ambition is to extend access while deepening locally led healing capacity, protecting the quality of care and the relationships that make it possible.
We are working to make community mental health care a core part of refugee response worldwide – because every person forced to flee deserves the chance to heal.
Community partnerships, developing local skills and training pathways, systems of care and the Global Healing Network connect training, ongoing accompaniment and shared learning. We adapt this approach in times of crisis as well as through longer-term partnerships. Together, these relationships provide the foundations on which we are developing our Healing Ecosystems approach.
During conflict, displacement and disaster, we adapt our training and accompaniment to support local practitioners and organisations responding to urgent needs. We make space for practitioner wellbeing, grief and connection while strengthening relationships and locally led care that can support communities over time.
