The war leaves not only the ruins of cities but also ruins in the hearts of people. Trauma touches everyone: soldiers, their families, refugees, children, and civilians who have experienced shelling or loss.
According to official data:
About 25% of Ukraine’s population shows signs of PTSD.
Among refugees, this figure reaches 47%. In 2024, more than 50,000 children sought psychological help — three times more than the previous year.
This is why the "Alive" school was created — a space where psychological science and spiritual support combine. Here, we teach how to understand the nature of trauma, recognize its symptoms, provide first psychological aid, and strengthen inner resilience.
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
- For those who serve military personnel, refugees, families of the fallen.
- For church leaders, volunteers, and chaplains.
- For anyone who wants to become a support for those who have experienced the pain of war.
