The Break e.V.
managed by Mimi Hapig
About us
We sustain those who sustain others: volunteers, activists, and frontline workers responding to humanitarian crises!
Across Europe, grassroots actors supporting displaced people are facing criminalization, burnout, and trauma. They have been essential in the humanitarian response these past 10 years — yet often left without support.
The Break offers them two crucial things:
1. IN PERSON RETREATS, to pause and recharge from daily intensity; to gain tools to care for your own and your team’s mental health; and to join forces and build networks with like-minded people across the globe.
2. REMOTE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT as individual accompaniment by trained mental health professionals in several languages.

Dear all,
When receiving money through the platform betterplace, we are always requested to share a small explanation of how your donations will be/have been used.
As you know, the donations you made through betterplace have allowed us to implement the project TheBreak#1. The budget points included for example travel stipends for the participants, material costs and food for the participants.
Through TheBreak#1, we brought together grassroots humanitarians and activists from different countries to strengthen their resilience & mental health and to create a network of support across and beyond Europe. The first implementation of the concept was a huge success and we would like to whole-heartedly thank you for your support!
All your donations are being spent in line with the tax-privileged purposes that we have as a non-profit organisation. They follow the tax code and the statutes of our organisation "The Break e.V."
If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out any time!
Thank you for your wonderful support,
Mimi and The Break
