Today is World Refugee Day.
A day to recognize strength, resilience, and potential of millions who have been forced to leave their homes in search of safety, dignity, and a better future.
It takes courage to rebuild and restart lives in a new country. We are constantly inspired by our newcomer community - despite the many challenges faced, we rebuild, reimage and reclaim our lives with grace.
Our mission is deeply personal. Savyn is founded by a refugee, and our work is shaped by lived experience. We understand the challenges of integration which goes beyond finding jobs, learning new languages, housing or legal procedures, it’s also emotional. Trauma, stress, loneliness, and anxiety are often invisible burdens. And we are here to support you with them.
Savyn is a digital mental health platform developed for refugees and newcomers. Our goal is to make healing accessible, private, and free of stigma. Our teams currently operate in Canada, Lebanon, and Syria, and we are quickly expanding to other communities.
On this day, we also want to highlight and thank the incredible refugee agencies and clinics we’ve worked with. These organizations provide more than services; they provide hope, stability, and belonging.
If you are a refugee or newcomer, or know someone who is, and are struggling with some difficult feelings from the past, then you are not alone. Our platform is free, and available in English, Arabic, Spanish, and French. We offer support in other languages as needed as well.

Healing is possible, and we are here to help you through it.
Happy World Refugee Day!
