Alleviating the effects of war with Evidence-Based Therapy for Ukrainian Refugees

The reason behind our initiative

For us, being European is not just a label; it is a responsibility that goes beyond words. The history of our continent has taught us painful lessons about suffering, the need for solidarity, and the importance of rebuilding—not only cities but also the people whose lives have been shattered by conflict.

Our community was founded on principles of unity, mutual support, and a commitment to peace and human rights. These values must not remain abstract ideals; they need to be translated into action every single day. Wherever we have expertise, we must act—not just with empathy, but with concrete, science-based interventions that make a real difference.

If we stand for anything, we stand for the responsibility to build a community that does not merely react to suffering but creates real mechanisms to alleviate and prevent it. Now is the time to prove that we have learned from our past and that we know how to transform history’s lessons into actions that truly matter.

Our science based CBT Therapy Program

Evidence-Based Support for Ukrainian Refugees

The journey of leaving home due to war creates profound emotional challenges that deserve professional care and understanding. Our specialized online therapy program brings together experienced Ukrainian-speaking therapists who understand both the psychological impact of war and the cultural context of your experience. Through secure, confidential sessions, we provide support that adapts to your needs and circumstances, helping you find stability and strength in challenging times.

Research consistently shows that early therapeutic support significantly improves recovery from war-related trauma. Our program integrates this scientific understanding with compassionate care, creating a space where healing can begin.

Understanding Our Approach

We utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based method proven particularly effective for processing trauma and managing anxiety. Our therapists adapt these powerful techniques to work specifically with the challenges faced by Ukrainian refugees, ensuring that every session respects your cultural background while providing practical tools for healing.

The effectiveness of our approach comes from its ability to address both immediate challenges and long-term wellbeing. Through guided sessions, you'll develop skills for managing difficult emotions, processing traumatic experiences, and rebuilding a sense of stability. These skills continue to serve you long after therapy ends, supporting your ongoing journey of recovery.

How Our Program Works

Your therapeutic journey begins with understanding your specific needs and creating a personalized plan for support. Here's how our program unfolds:

Initial Consultation:

Your first session focuses on understanding your current challenges and hopes for therapy. Your therapist will listen to your story, answer your questions, and work with you to create a clear path forward. This session helps establish the foundation of trust essential for effective therapy

Regular Sessions:

Each week, you'll meet with your therapist for a 50-minute online session. These conversations take place in a secure, confidential environment where you can:

Process difficult experiences at your own pace
Learn practical techniques for managing anxiety and stress
Work through grief and loss
Develop stronger coping mechanisms
Build resilience for facing challenges
Address family and relationship concerns

Progress Review:

We regularly assess your progress to ensure the therapy meets your evolving needs. Your therapist will work with you to adjust approaches and techniques, ensuring you receive the most effective support throughout your healing journey.
