The Foundation for Polish-Ukrainian International Cooperation is a young Foundation which was registered recently but its members for more than a year acted as an initiative group, engaged in volunteer activities, helped Ukrainian women and children who were forced to leave as a result of the hostilities in Ukraine. We mainly provided professional psychological assistance, conducted individual consultations, self-help groups “Women’s Circle”, breakfasts for women, master classes, training.

The Women’s Circle is a self-help group for women in need of psycho-emotional support. The Circle meets once a week, and is moderated by professional psychologists with experience in group work – Olena Ovsyannikova (who has 20 years of experience working with women who have received psychological trauma and survived violent situations) and Kateryna Voronchenko (who has experience in organizing and conducting group psychological coaching marathons for adults and children).
