The MEND Project is a not-for-profit founded by abuse survivor Annette Oltmans in 2016, dedicated to supporting individuals healing from emotional and relational abuse, not only survivors but also their allies and professionals. Here’s what the website offers:
- Survivors and those wondering if they’re being mistreated: Provides clarity on types of abuse and healing pathways
- Allies (friends, family, mentors): Offers guidance to support safely and compassionately without causing further harm, using models like the Healing Model of Compassion
- Organisations & professionals: Delivers trauma-informed training, continuing education, and private group curricula for responders and leaders
The MEND Project serves as a comprehensive hub offering education, connection, practical tools, and supportive programs, all aimed at helping survivors and their support networks find clarity, strength, and healing after emotional abuse. Whether you are navigating personal recovery or supporting someone else, their resources are trauma-informed, accessible, and impactful.
