Our foundation’s team of trainers work with children every day, providing them with psychological support, helping them overcome challenges, and guiding them to find their internal resources. To ensure this work remains effective and stable, it’s crucial to take care of the trainers themselves. That is exactly why the Resource Space — a platform for meetings, workshops, and training sessions — continues its operation.
The Resource Space was created so that every trainer has the opportunity to take care of themselves, gain new knowledge, exchange experiences with colleagues, find inspiration, and restore their inner balance. During this difficult time of full-scale war, this kind of support is a necessary prerequisite for our specialists to continue carrying out their vital mission with high quality.
A key feature of the space is that it runs online. Our project’s trainers are working all of Ukraine. These online meetings allow us to stay connected, regardless of where anyone lives, and maintain a sense of unity and mutual support.
The space is being filled with relevant content and practical tools. Among the topics discussed at our recent meetings were:
- Workshop: “Resource Renewal: EMDR Techniques for Daily Resilience” by Olena Lysenko.
- Masterclass Series: “Goddesses and Gods Within You” by Kateryna Sukenyk.
- Art Therapy Methods: “MANDALA THERAPY” by Kateryna Sukenyk.
- Workshop: “Working with Inspiration: How to Avoid Burnout” by Olena Lysenko.
We believe that supporting our trainers directly impacts the quality of help provided to the children and families they work with. Therefore, the Resource Space is not just about professional development; it’s about care, mutual respect, and strengthening our community.
Participant Testimonials
Olha Posternak:
What I liked most about the group was the opportunity to gain real resources, support, and lots of interesting information that helps you better understand yourself, recharge your strength, and cope with the stress in the country today. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and care. Individual therapy is an absolutely priceless opportunity.
Serhii Serhiiev:
It was a time when you could pause the daily hustle and bustle and simply be in the moment. The practices helped me relax, restore my energy, and feel that self-care is not a luxury, but a necessity. In our restless world, moments like these are priceless.
Kateryna Sukenyk (trainer and “hostess” of the Resource Space):
Our Resource Space became a source of fulfillment, giving, joy, and a feeling of unity with like-minded people who are dear to me! It was important for me to share my knowledge. The resources I offered were dedicated to deep self-discovery and exploring the subconscious.
Viktoriia Yavdoshchak:
The “Goddesses and Gods Within You” workshops were a genuine space of support and inspiration. The atmosphere was warm, which helped relieve tension and allowed me to focus on my needs. During the workshop, I felt lightness, inspiration, and the resource to implement new ideas. The Mandala Therapy workshop was a valuable self-discovery. The “Path to…” transformational game was a profound experience that helped me re-analyze my own values.
This project was created by the “HOPE worldwide Ukraine” Charity Foundation with the support of a grant from the Children’s Resilience Fund: Providing Capacity Building and Funding to Ukrainian Civil Society Organisations in Ukraine. The program is implemented by Crown Agents in Ukraine and Integrity Action.
