In late November 2017, the “Helping Hand for Ukraine” project began a series of “Children and War: Teaching Recovery Techniques” therapy sessions in Odesa for IDPs – children, traumatized by the war activities in Eastern Ukraine, and their parents. The sessions are organized by the participants of the “Children and War: Teaching Recovery Techniques” training for school psychologists and social workers, which was held in Odesa in October this year. And now, twenty specialists who were trained accordingly, share their newly acquired practical knowledge in 11 schools of their native city with 119 students – children aged 8 to 15 years. Children learn skills of psychological self-regulation and stress resistance, practice relaxation techniques, increase the positive perception of the surrounding world and strengthen their psychological health. The funds for the therapy in Odesa were raised during “Gala of HOPE” charity concert held in June 2017 in Zurich, Switzerland. It was organised by “HOPE worldwide Zurich” and
“u l t r a S c h a l l” ensemble.
