Since early 2023, volunteers from the Step with Hope foundation specializing in psychosocial support have been undergoing training at the Trauma Healing Institute to launch the vital Healing Wounds of the Soul program.
This program has provided invaluable insights into transforming hardship into strength and finding answers to pressing questions:
— How to support someone in grief without causing harm?
— How to recognize psychological trauma in children and adolescents?
— How to assist women who have experienced sexual violence?
— How to respond to the question:“Where is God?”
The program was introduced in cities across the Dnipropetrovsk region, including Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Samara, and Kamianske, among others. Participants, by sharing their personal stories, embarked on a journey of collective healing.
A significant trend emerged: after completing the program, many participants chose to become volunteers in aid centers—finding their own healing through helping others.
The program continues, bringing together both small and large groups. In each gathering, hearts are restored, pain diminishes, and anxieties quiet down.
We invite everyone to take part in this essential journey of healing wounds of the soul.
