MISSION
We are looking into the eyes of war: grief, loss, trauma
It is also heavy for us because of what we have experienced. But we choose to take it as it is. And work for healing.
War Trauma Institute – is a nonprofit organization dedicated to research, education, and volunteer work that addresses the psychological consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war
A Unique Ukrainian Experience
Ukrainian psychologists occupy a unique place in the global mental health system. This marks the fifth year of uninterrupted clinical practice amid active bombardments, widespread grief, and millions of people in military uniforms. No other professional community in the world has accumulated such a wealth of real-world experience working with complex war-related trauma.
What we are building here belongs not only to Ukraine. It belongs to every society experiencing conflict.
We have been working since the first day of the full-scale war
2023 — the year the War Trauma Institute was officially registered
18 months of art therapy for military personnel at Pavlov Psychiatric Hospital in Kyiv
250+ psychologists and psychotherapists trained since 2022
10+ educational programmes in military, clinical, and transgenerational psychology
2024 — the year we were certified by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine as a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) provider
Scientific research on the resilience of Ukrainians — civilians, active-duty military personnel, and veterans
We are open to various forms of collaboration
Financial support: a grant or direct contribution to the organization’s activities. Institutional partnership: joint projects, exchange of expertise. Expert collaboration: participation in an advisory board, supervision, consulting.
We have been working throughout the war — and we will continue to do so afterward.
