Caritas will train Ukrainians in crisis psychological assistance

Caritas Czech Republic is organizing a training in crisis psychological support for Caritas Ukraine staff on Monday, 28th February. Psychologists from the Czech Fire Rescue Corps will train our Ukrainian colleagues on how to provide psychological care to people affected by the ongoing war. A similar training took place in 2015. Due to the Russian invasion, our colleagues in Ukraine had to interrupt their social and health care programmes in many parts of the country. However, they are determined to provide the necessary psychosocial assistance for those affected by the difficult situation  the last days.
