When the invasion of Ukraine caused millions of women and children to seek safety and shelter in neighboring countries, European Brainspotting trainers came together to organize support for first responders and volunteers on the ground assisting arriving refugees.
A webinar "How to Support in Crisis; Powerful Brainspotting Insights" was organized so the first responders could learn new techniques to help support the refugees. This joint effort gave rise to additional support from the international Brainspotting community; specialty training webinars, free therapy sessions for those affected and group consultation meetings for volunteers and therapists in Ukraine.
