This time, over 60 Ukrainian practicing psychologists, divided into two groups, completed a 32-hour training course led by Israeli experts.

The participants included psychologists working with military personnel and veterans, psychotherapists supporting those affected by war or loss, as well as school and child psychologists.

The goal of the project is to share the best Israeli practices for working with people who have experienced trauma. The course combined theoretical knowledge and practical skills in crisis counseling and short-term therapeutic support.

The training was delivered by Israeli psychologists and psychotherapists Alex Gershanov, Gila Petrova, and Alex Galchinski.

The project is organized by the Zionist Federation of Ukraine in cooperation with the Israeli Trauma Coalition, with support from the JReady platform of the Jewish Agency for Israel. The project’s media partner is the Diye-Slovo studio.
