PDF resources for individuals experiencing the traumas of war, like the one in Ukraine.
With war and other armed conflicts, like the war in Ukraine, ordinary citizens experience highly emotional and traumatic situations. These experiences include forced separation from loved ones, unplanned relocation, witnessing decimation of homes and communities, experiencing life-threatening food insecurity, serious injury, violence, threat of death, and witnessing death of loved ones.
In our three new resources in both English and Ukrainian, members of our Scientific Advisory Committee share strategies to cope with frightening, shocking, or life-threatening events. Please download and share the PDFs with anyone you think can benefit from coping strategies related to war or other traumatic situations.

Thank you to our Scientific Committee members, Drs. Gordon Asmundson, Christiana Bratiotis, Daniel Chorney, Carmen Maclean, Lynn Miller, and Maureen Whittal for preparing these resources.
Special thanks to volunteer translators Victoria Datsko, Dana Koren Lupynis, and Maria Datsko.
