Our Mission
Dignity Beyond Borders is a safe and inclusive global community for survivors of traumatic loss—focusing on healing, dignity, fostering hope and building skills for a brighter future.
Dignity is an inherent right; it cannot be taken away. It can be honored, or it can be violated.
“We all have wings. Few people realize their wings, even less fly. This program showed that I had wings and that I was able to soar.” Ashraf from New Zealand
Traumatic loss dramatically impacts the dignity of an individual or group—particularly when it is sudden and violent, as with terrorist acts, war, and mass violence. However, when survivors are brought together in a safe, inclusive, and understanding space, there is an opportunity to heal and offset the impact of trauma.
Dignity Beyond Borders provides individual and group experiences with a trauma-focused approach. Our goal is to generate therapeutic outcomes. We aim to empower participants to be leaders who will impact their communities through the practice of dignity and the skills for responding to conflict.
Our team has decades of experience working with survivors of terrorism, war, and mass violence. Our leadership team has worked with participants from all over the world for over two decades. Our program facilitators are trained mental health clinicians, creative arts therapists, and conflict resolution practitioners.
