VOLUNTEERING
Volunteering as a clinical role
Direct psychological support for those who need it right now: service members, veterans, and those who have lost loved ones.
For us, this isn’t just a side project alongside our main work—it’s a way to stay connected to reality: to people, their pain, their creativity, and their healing. Some things simply don’t fit into the framework of paid services. That’s why we just do them
Where service ends, presence begins
Sitting with a veteran in a hospital room, spending time with an artist who has returned from the front lines, listening to someone who has lost a loved one and doesn’t yet know how to cope—these are experiences that no program or protocol can replace.
Since 2024, our volunteers have been working at the Pavlov Psychiatric Hospital. They support active-duty military personnel—the artists of the “Cultural Assault”—who continue to create despite everything. They record psychotherapeutic interviews with people going through grief, loss, and recovery.
This work exists not because there is funding, but because there is a need for it.
Being there is a form of therapy in itself. Sometimes the most important thing you can do is simply be there. No formalities. No sessions. No strings attached.

03 / Psychotherapeutic interviews
Documenting Experiences · Face-to-Face Contact · Conversational Therapy
