Between Borders is an international network aimed at introducing and expanding the use of storytelling and creative therapies for displaced populations whether due to conflict, climate change, natural disasters, statelessness, and development.

We convene leaders from civil society organisations, universities, communities and the fields of mental health to shape best practices, raise awareness and promote information exchange through research, workshops, training and public events.

Through our network of experts, we working on broadening our understanding of the brain-mind-body responses to displacement and the role of creative therapies and storytelling in supporting healing and resilience-building for communities experiencing extreme adversity. We aim to open up communication channels and opportunities for collaboration across sectors to integrate creative mental health practices into policy, practice and dialogue.
