About Healing on the Move
Healing on the Move is a care-centered social enterprise working at the intersection of forced displacement, mental health, community resilience, and systems change.
We provide integrated support to individuals, groups, organisations, and policy spaces affected by displacement. Our work is grounded in trauma-informed practice, collective care, and the knowledge of people with lived experience of displacement.
We believe that healing is not a short-term intervention, but a long-term social and political process. For care to be meaningful, it must be ethical, accessible, and sustainable.

Meet the team
We are a collective of artists, social activists, and mental health professionals who were forced to leave our countries due to war, socio-economic collapse, or identity-based oppression.

Our work bridges mental health, community care, and creative practice to foster resilience, dignity, and social connection.
