Untangled Components
Ending trauma-related dysfunction requires a multifaceted approach.
Psychosocial Education
Both trauma survivors and the general public greatly benefit from education to overcome taboos and to fight stigma. Untangled provides education through our website (blogs, videos, resources, and literature), the use of social media, leaflets, books, workshops, seminars, speaking engagements, and consultations.
Training
Refugees, trauma survivors, and their caregivers utilize training to promote healthy lifestyles and adaptive coping skills. Moreover, establishing a community response team necessitates training on topics of cultural humility, trauma sensitivity, listening to the trauma story, caring for the caregivers, and much more.
Untangled conducts retreats and professional training for those interested in implementing the Untangled model.

Resources Center
Currently, Untangled carries a virtual Resource Center through the website as a resource platform linking to a vast network of support, our Hope Wall, and Events.
Soon, we hope to add an online clinic, assistance hotline, and a physical community center.

Safe Spaces
Honest, open conversations using dialogue, non-violent conflict-resolution, and play and art healing activities need to take place in safe spaces. In Safe Spaces, we tackle taboo and sensitive issues, focus on bonding and soothing activities for youth and women, conduct “non- professional” support groups and community-wide interactions, and have intra and inter-faith discussions with the help of local community partners.
Clinical Care
Untangled’s care is a trauma-focused and evidence-based practice using culturally-sensitive assessment tools. We also hope to offer an affordable and accessible curriculum on the psychosocial care for refugees that we can disseminate to parties interested in providing care to refugees and trauma survivors.
