Ukraine SUPPORT Project

Manifestation of a Global Support Project

Solidarity in Times of War - Ukraine

A rapid cumulative display of crises is changing all of our lives. The Climate Crisis, coupled with Corona, now compounded by the War in Ukraine, is re-awakening hidden trauma layers and leading to increased stress, anxiety and polarisation. We aim to prevent a downward spiral of rising collective fear. If we can anchor ourselves and help to ground others, we become more able to stay present and respond appropriately to each situation.

Our international teams of facilitators, therapists, coaches and consultants donate their time to offer Support Calls with the goal of resourcing individuals and cultivating social stability. These calls serve as an intervention during the unfolding of events to minimise the increase of collective trauma. Together, we are building a global healing impulse which directs its efforts to wherever the need is strong.

In 2020, through our Covid Aid Project, we directed our volunteer effort to offer 147 calls in English, German, and Spanish which served 2515 Participants. Since 2022 we direct our capacity to support Ukrainians and those supporting Ukrainian refugees.

The Ukraine Support Project is run through donations and volunteer efforts. If you are able to support, please donate here.

Embodiment is the foundation for healing. Without embodiment, we have no instrument to receive the world and to ground the energy that has lifted out in anxiety, fear and trauma. Our body is the instrument that allows the energy to return and become fertile soil for the future. – Kosha Joubert

REACH OUT for 1:1 SUPPORT VIA TELEGRAM CHAT OR ZOOM

Over the past months, the continuing attacks on Ukraine have led to electricity outages across the country. Many of those who are most in need, whether in Ukraine or as refugees elsewhere, have had technical or personal safety issues inhibiting their joining our psycho-social support sessions on zoom. To make it easier to reach out for support in moments when you could do with a compassionate ear and heart, we are opening a chat channel as well as continuing our 1:1 sessions via Zoom. Whether you are supporting Ukrainians, or are from Ukraine yourself, please don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our professional therapists/coaches. All sessions are free. Welcome!

Viktoria L., Psychologist, Ukraine

I would like to thank everyone for this wonderful project… I have found more answers and felt that I have a higher level of energy and recovery. It helped me to find new experiences, raise awareness and gain new tools for healing on all levels… I integrated new tools and knowledge into my experience and use them in my work. I am grateful to the presenters, translator and project organisers for their high level and openness. Now I am helping refugees using the tools from the training. I just want to say: you are all wonderful! Thank you!

Mykyta Mikhalko, Private Psychologist, Ukraine

It was an amazing experience to become a part of a big international community in times of war and uncertainty. The knowledge I got from the course was a full integration of my previous psychotherapeutic background. Thank you all hosts and funders for the possibility to participate.

Maya Plusheva, Psychotherapist, Ukraine

I was amazed at how easily and accessible the facilitator gave complex and difficult meanings during the course and how essential it was to be a part of such a coherent group atmosphere during these challenging months.

To feel the problems of our world is to know its suffering, but this requires compassionate “response-ability.” If we fail to address the world’s collective trauma with clarity and compassion, we imperil the survival of our children and our children’s children – and countless other species. – Thomas Hübl

It is the first time I was able to talk with people from Ukraine who are familiar with T.Huebl's teachings and practicing them.

I felt supported by the group, and feel that I am not alone in my emotional experience. I felt a deep connection also within the breakout session and found my nervous system was attuned with the others, experiencing what was being expressed in the shadings within my own nervous system. Knowing I am not alone and am supported within a global community, whilst also being a support to others is deeply soothing, and tonight I feel at peace and better able to relax. Thank you for the space and the connection, it feels good to have a safe landing space in today's difficult climate.

I have a feeling that the therapist mirrored a healthy part of myself, which was "also shot" at the beginning of the war. At the end of the session, my body stopped shaking and I had a long exhale, breathing out.

Ukraine SUpport Project

On February 24th 2022, Ukrainians woke up to the sound of bombs and missiles, and the war ist still ongoing today. Safe spaces, where we can collectively begin to witness our experience together, are needed. So far, we are engaging in four subprojects to bring support to Ukrainians.

Health & Support for Ukrainian refugees - Germany

Health & Support for Ukrainians in Ukraine and elsewhere

Ukrainian participation in the Trauma-informed Leadership Course II

We provided spaces for 110 Ukrainians, leading efforts in the fields of psychology, NGOs, education, human rights, and refugees, in our Trauma-Informed Leadership Course II 2022. Around 90% of them are currently in the Ukraine, facing daily challenges. How can they bring trauma-informed leadership and practices to this harrowing experience?

Advanced Psychological Training -

In collaboration with our partner, ARQ, we offered a course on Advanced Psychotrauma to 35 Ukrainian psychologists and therapists. With the understanding that ongoing war creates a special context, this course is designed to help specialists to address consequences of psychotrauma in Ukrainian communities. Three major topics were covered: the effect of war on mental health, sexual violence, and traumatic loss and mourning.
