The continued war in Ukraine has left many people grappling with trauma,  families torn apart, dreams shattered, lives thrown into disarray.     How do you move on and rebuild your life while grieving all the loss?How do you heal? The demand for mental health support has become the #1 need    in helping Ukrainian people on their journey to rebuilding their lives.  <p style="font-size:calc(var(--small-text-size-value) * 1rem);font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;line-height:var(--body-font-line-height);text-align:center;background:white;margin:1rem 0px;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit">Your donation will directly contribute to our programs focused on restoring the emotional resilience of Ukrainian people.     Here are a few examples of the programs and individuals your support will benefit:<p style="font-size:calc(var(--small-text-size-value) * 1rem);font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;line-height:var(--body-font-line-height);text-align:center;background:white;margin:1rem 0px;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit">  1) ART AND PLAY THERAPY FOR CHILDREN ...like these brothers, Tima (4) and Ilya (7) from an occupied village in the Bakhmut region (pictured below with their mom Olena and with founder of our organization, Nadya Tkachenko).  Behind those smiles there is so much trauma which they simply cannot express in words...     <img width="624" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1698764890/oqxtguagewhhsutiuvua.png" alt="A group of women standing togetherDescription automatically generated" style="width:760px;position:relative;max-width:100%;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit" />When they were just 2 and 5 years old their family of four was woken up by the harrowing sound of multiple missiles all at once destroying nearby houses in their village - forced to shelter in the tiny cellar for 3 weeks in the frigid cold of March 2022 - with no water, electricity, and barely any food.  After escaping near-death while fleeing from the occupied territory, traveling with their family from town to town as refugees under constant shelling, and living in an unheated abandoned house last winter, they’ve recently moved into the residential center that we built in a safer area of Ukraine.  These two boys are lucky to have both parents still alive. But many children just like them have lost at least one, sometimes both parents, to the war. We're creating programs that will be aimed at helping kids like this process their unimaginable experience. 2) KIDS CLUBS FOR TEENSTeens find it difficult to openly share their experience, yet they are exceptionally fragile as they navigate their lives within the volatile environment of war and displacement... Like these sisters from the Kherson region (pictured with their mom, center) who had dreams and plans that were shattered...  <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1698764986/a7ki6pfjumncmb0gpx7n.png" style="width:772px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;max-width:100%;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit" /> Initially, they chose to live under constant shelling for many months just so that they could continue studying in their schools in the company of their friends. But after russia deliberately destroyed the nearby Kakhovka dam and their region was flooded, leaving them without access to drinking water, their family made the difficult choice to relocate. They finally found their way to our residential center where they can access their school classes online. How can they make sense of what they have been through amd grasp the new realities while feeling isolated and trying to navigate social interactions in a new place?  Children's clubs is an initial step in aiding them in their healing - places where they can gather, bond over shared interests, and receive coping tools from trained experts, all while working towards destigmatizing discussions about mental well-being.   3) SUPPORT GROUPS FOR ADULTS In Ukraine, lingering stigma often prevents individuals from acknowledging their need for psychological support, even when they exhibit clear signs of severe anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Despite this, we've seen that psychologist-led support groups, focused on community and storytelling rather than mental health concerns, have offered a therapeutic experience to many. …like for Natalia from Mariupol (below left), who tries to smile politely while she bravely confides that her entire family was killed right before her eyes. She recounts how she was thrown from her window by the shockwave of a nearby missile explosion, resulting in a head injury and a three-week-long coma. She is 'safe' now but finds herself all alone, grieving, and plagued by multiple and incapacitating panic attacks every day.  Connecting with people who now feel like family and who can relate to her experience helps her on her healing journey.    <img width="623" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1698764691/cwkwa0zynmjd27bmhwu9.png" alt="A group of people sitting in chairsDescription automatically generated" style="width:761px;position:relative;max-width:100%;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit" /> …or like for Emilia from Kherson region (above center) who is in a constant state of tears, startles at every loud noise, and can’t sleep at night.  She recounts her harrowing journey of escaping from the occupied territory and passing through filtration camps, all while taking care of her two disabled adult children. Through tears she manages to joke that she's not yet entirely homeless as her house is miraculously intact. Only problem is… an unexploded missile is lodged upright in her backyard garden, essentially a ticking time bomb, waiting for a triggering shockwave from a nearby explosion. Finding humor in such distressing stories, and sharing them with peers, along with guidance and coping tools from a trained psychologist, is what fosters the healing process for many.  Psychological support is need #1 and we invite you to join us in providing solutions.  By making a donation, you will create the most direct impact and help people like these rebuild their hope, their strengths, and their lives.  THANK YOU!    <p style="margin:1rem 0px;line-height:var(--body-font-line-height);font-size:calc(var(--small-text-size-value) * 1rem);color:rgb(233, 179, 53);overflow-wrap:break-word;font-family:Poppins;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:300;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit">
