You are warmly invited to join us on a 9-month journey – Resilience Training Program designed to provide 250 young Ukrainians (18-35 years)—both in the country and in the diaspora—with the tools to heal, rebuild your inner strength, and contribute to community resilience.

- Skills to Help Others: Develop the capacity to support fellow Ukrainians through trauma-informed approaches.
- Community & Support: Connect with a strong, supportive network of like-minded individuals.

History
We are creating a global healing impulse that focuses our efforts where the need is the most acute. Since 2022, we have directed the efforts of our volunteers to conduct group and individual meetings in English, German, Ukrainian with more than 17,600 participants registered for them. We focused our efforts on supporting Ukrainians and those who support Ukrainian refugees.
On February 24, 2022, Ukrainians woke up to the sound of bombs and rockets. This remains a reality to this day. There is an urgent need for spaces of safety in which we can collectively bear witness to our shared experience.
