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.

Our volunteers are at the heart of this work. Trainers, consultants, therapists and coaches all find joy in generously donating their time and their expertise to those in need.
But we also depend on donations to fund administrative expenses, compensation to Ukrainian translators, and cash subsidies for Ukranian mental health volunteers who work in the most affected areas.
