Project: “Psychology of Trauma – Israeli Experience”
Supported by the JReady platform of the Jewish Agency Sohnut (Israel) and organized by the Zionist Federation of Ukraine with media support from the Diye-Slovo studio, the project is also backed by the Israel Trauma Coalition.
ZFU Executive Director Olena Zaslavska oversees the project, with teachings provided by experts from the Israel Trauma Coalition.
Part 4 of the project has begun.
In 2024, preparation for the fourth part of the project took place, consisting of 32 academic hours of training in two groups, led by psychologists from the Israel Trauma Coalition. A total of 120 people enrolled in the program, with 68 participating in the two groups.
The Psychology of Trauma – Israeli Experience project has been conducted in partnership with the Israel Trauma Coalition since October 2022. The first three parts were held in 2023-2024.
Part 4 includes a series of lectures and seminars focused on presenting Ukrainian psychologists — and anyone interested in the topic — with the achievements of Israeli specialists in dealing with traumatic experiences.
The fourth part featured experts such as Alexander Gershanov, a leading specialist at the Center, as well as psychologists Gila Petrova and Alex Galchinski.
The project saw participation from 68 experienced psychologists (2 groups) from cities including Kyiv and the region, Kharkiv, Dnipro and its surrounding areas, Kryvyi Rih, Ternopil, Odesa, and more. Theoretical meetings were conducted online.
