On January 12, 2024, 13 new trainers of “Children and War. Teaching Recovery Techniques” program received the certificates. The certificates were awarded to the participants of the training, which took place in October last year. The new trainers shared their experience, talked about their insights during the practical part of the project (conducting therapy groups), how simple and effective the program is and how much children like it. They also talked about improving the psycho-emotional state of children as a significant result of the therapy sessions, and emphasized that it is necessary to implement the “Children and War. Teaching Recovery Techniques” program in every school, not only in Lutsk, but throughout Ukraine.
Iryna Sukhova, head and chief psychologist of the “Helping Hand for Ukraine” project, and Khrystyna Kipryanova, psychologist and project coordinator handed out the certificates.

Participants’ feedback:
Inna Voloshyna: “I was unable to attend the certification event last Friday, but I thank Khrystyna Kipryanova, Iryna Sukhova and Natalia Podolyak, who trained the trainers of the “Children and War. Teaching Recovery Techniques” program last autumn. The program is great because the theory is filtered through many years of experience, and therefore it is voluminous and multifaceted.”
