The devastating situation in Ukraine has seen millions of people displaced; the physical, emotional and mental impact felt by those in Ukrainian communities and beyond is profound. BABCP stands in solidarity supporting those affected as a result of this crisis.
We have been working with our members as well as sister organisations to identify key resources that will help our members support those directly affected by the situation. We also recognise the impact it can have on those where past experiences may come to light and as well as you as therapists dealing with your own emotions and feelings surrounding the situation. We have highlighted a range of resources that may be useful. But first, here is Valentyna Parobii, President of the Ukrainian Association of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy (UACBT), with five things about war in Ukraine.
