On April 24-28, 2023, “Children and War. Teaching Recovery Techniques” online training was held for psychologists, teachers, social workers, and volunteers.

All of them plan to conduct groups sessions for children and parents affected by war against Ukraine using this effective methodology, and will teach them self-help techniques to overcome stress, fears, anxiety, pain and loss.
