Are you looking for a meaningful way to contribute to people’s mental health? Would you like to make an impact in the immigrant community in Finland? Do you want to be part of something bigger?
You’ve come to the right place! MIELI Without Borders is on a mission to raise awareness for and destigmatize mental health for immigrants in Finland, and we need you to do that. Our organization is entirely run by volunteers passionate about mental well-being, supporting each other and building a strong community.
Volunteer Training
Our next volunteer training will be on Saturday, March 1, 2025. More details will follow as the date approaches. If you are already eager to reserve your spot, you can sign up via the link below.

If you’re still wondering why volunteering with MIELI Without Borders is a great idea, here’s what’s in for you:
Spend time doing things you enjoy while contributing to an important cause
Learn from and educate others about mental health and immigration
Be part of a community of like-minded people (and have fun together)
What to do
Joining us as a volunteer can look very different, depending on your interests and availability. These are just a few examples.
Become a TOIVO facilitator
Peer support is a powerful tool to give and get mental health support to others in a similar situation like yourself. The TOIVO model has been developed by our mother organization MIELI ry. MIELI Without Border’s offers training for TOIVO facilitators, and helps them start their own peer support group.

Organize community events
MIELI Without Borders would be nothing without the people. We are continuously growing our community, and events are an important part of our work. Like everything else, these are organized completely by volunteers, of course with support from us.
If you have an idea for an event or get-together, please get in touch with us – we’re happy to hear from you!
With a little help from our friends…
Of course, you don’t have to do an entire event or support group alone. As a community, we work together and split tasks to join forces. Helping to set up the venue, taking pictures or representing MIELI Without Borders in a bigger event are just a few examples of how our volunteers make an impact.
Let’s have a chat and see what you’d be excited about!
Spread the good word
Letting people know about us and what we do is at the very core of our mission. Communications is an important task, and we’re always looking for people with a passion to spread the word. Social Media, blogging, content creation or PR – the sky really is the limit.
You don’t need to have any experience or knowledge of the field. If you’re passionate about marketing & comms, send us a message, and we’ll get you started!
… and much more!
Do you have an idea for a project? Would you like to do some research about mental health and immigrants in Finland? Or maybe something completely different? MIELI Without Borders has only been around for a few years, and we’re growing with our community members.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us and share your ideas. We’ll try to make it happen together with you!
