Les recherches démontrent la complexité de soutenir des po- pulations en situation de migration forcée. Cependant, peu d’études portent sur l’expérience des bénévoles soutenant les migrants forcés. Cette étude explore les expériences de mentors bénévoles au Royaume-Uni. Huit participants ont été recrutés dans un organisme de bienfaisance particulier. Les données ont été recueillies à l’aide d’entrevues semi-structurées approfondies. Les transcriptions textuelles on fait l’objet d’une analyse interprétative phénoménologique. Quatre thèmes principaux ont émergé: «Paralysé par la responsa- bilité et l’impuissance», «Lourdes répercussions émotion- nelles », « Naviguer des frontières troubles » et « Enrichi d’espoir, de joie et d’inspiration ». Les participants ont vécu une gamme d’émotions suite à leur mentorat, allant de la détresse à l’inspiration. Les résultats indiquent que le fait de se concentrer sur des changements réalisables aide les mentors. La relation de mentorat a une énorme importance pour les mentors mais demande aussi une navigation prudente. Les résultats indiquent que bien qu’il s’agisse d’une expérience enrichissante, un soutien pour les bénévoles qui agissent comme mentors auprès des migrants forcés est requis. Les forces et limites relatives de l’étude sont prises en compte. Nous abordons les implications théoriques de nos résultats et offrons des suggestions pour les organisations, le milieu clinique et la recherche future.
