With the outbreak of full-scale war in Ukraine in February 2022, I initiated the process of uniting the Ukrainian community of mindfulness instructors and facilitated its dialogue with the global community of mindfulness teachers, which led to wider networking and various collaborations.
Starting in March 2022, for about a year and a half, I held open weekly online support groups for my fellow citizens inside the country and in refugee status, teaching everyone the basics of emotional intelligence, mindfulness and other simple self-regulation techniques. I also conducted several special courses on mindfulness for volunteers in two youth NGOs and for psychologists working at a hotline for military families.
I am an MBAT trainer and a representative in Ukraine, now focusing all my efforts on bringing mindfulness training to those who face the most difficult challenges: military personnel and their families, military psychologists, policemen, rescuers, combat medics, etc.
