From March 5 to 7, a “Children and War: Teaching Recovery Techniques.” training was held in Kyiv for future trainers. The training was conducted by experienced trainers Natalia Podolyak, Olena Bozhor, and Iryna Sukhova, with Olha Posternak coordinating the group.
Ten pairs of trainers from Kyiv, the Kyiv region, and Zaporizhzhia participated in the training. The atmosphere was filled with motivation, support, and active engagement in mastering the methodology. Participants deeply immersed themselves in psychological assistance topics, recognizing their significance for children in the Kyiv region as well as for children and adults in the recently de-occupied areas of the Zaporizhzhia region.
Ahead lies practical work with groups, and we wish each trainer strength, patience, and inspiration. May the acquired knowledge help as many children as possible find inner balance and cope with their experiences. Each of you is doing incredibly important work!
Here are some participant testimonials that reflect the atmosphere and impressions from the training:
Tetiana: “It’s great that everything is gathered in one place. Professional. Accessible. Structured. Necessary. Inspiring. Thank you!”
Vadym: “I am incredibly pleased with the universality of the training — this is what makes it truly unique.”
Liubov: “An intensive program with many interesting and effective tools. Everything is clear and well-structured. I am confident that the knowledge we have gained will help many more people.”
These testimonials are yet another proof that the training not only provides knowledge but also builds a strong community of professionals ready to help children.
