United in Crisis

The international team of volunteers united to help Ukrainians adapt to a new life away from home. Who are we?

We united in a crisis when we recognized a deep need for help. We started very small, but soon more and more volunteers, along with volunteer psychotherapists and psychologists, joined us. Although we all have different backgrounds, we have one thing in common: the desire to help those in need. When Ukrainians were taking refuge in our country, we knew we had to do something and come to their support. Soon we started to develop more and more projects, and we are delighted to announce that we are already working on new ones. We are growing, and the more staff we have, the more capacity we have to help other groups in need, such as immigrants from different countries as well as vulnerable Portuguese citizens.

In the last few weeks, we continued with our regular Evening art club meetings. In these meetings, we were exploring our feelings: anger, fear, anxiety, sadness, offense, shame, guilt, joy, etc. We draw where in the body we are feeling these feelings, and how we react at that moment when we feel them. We were exploring our emotional scenarios. In another meeting, we were drawing the feelings and analyzed the pictures. We draw a circle and wrote which feelings are opposite for us, then we had an open discussion about it. Anna talked to each person separately about their drawing, about the feelings they chose as opposite, others were listening and adding their thoughts. Anna always takes time for each person individually and takes care of a sense of security in the group.

We gathered this Saturday for mom’s and children’s club at Goethe Institute from 10:00-12:00, as we do every Sunday. Ukrainian moms were relaxing and doing yoga in the park near the Goethe Institute together with our Gestalt psychotherapist. It was a very calm and peaceful morning, yoga practice among trees and birds. In the meantime, their children were doing fun activities in the room upstairs of Goethe Institut with our qualified children psychotherapist. This Saturday they were making hats, as the children making and wearing hats/crowns is representing who they would like to be: someone who can fly, be a firefighter, nature princess, etc.

Dear all!
On Sunday 7. 5. we started with our new projects for teens. We are gathering every Sunday in Botto Machado Garden in Lisbon from 15:30 to 17:30. Together we are playing board games in the park, and teens are engaging with each other and having a good time. It’s all happening under the safe supervision of a qualified psychologist. We are planning new fun activities in the future, such as exploring nice places in Lisbon and planting trees. For now, it’s 5 teenagers who are participating. We would love to have a bigger group, therefore every teenager from Ukraine is warmly welcome! See you on Sunday!

Hello everyone,
Last week we had a beautiful workshop talking about how we are dealing with stress. Each of us picked a card and spoke about our inner child if we felt like speaking about it. Then Anna gave us a beautiful and useful psychoeducation about psychosomatics, she explained what is happening in our body when we are under stress (cortisol, adrenalin, noradrenalin) and how our body reacts to it (fight, flight, freeze response). Then we continued our debate about panic attacks and we talked a lot about asthenia, as the participants were very interested in this topic. Anna dedicated herself to each member individually and answered all of our questions. It was a wonderful session, full of useful information and a beautiful interaction within a group of seven participants.

Hello everyone!
We are a small group of Ukrainians, learning emotional resilience together, led by our excellent psychotherapist Anna Ossipova. In the last three weeks, we had 3 workshops. We were discussing our feelings, thoughts, our goals, and steps to achieve them. We were using artistic cards to connect with our subconscious. We were discussing our ways of coping with stressful situations, and together we were looking for better ways to deal with them. Everyone shared with the group only what they were ready to share. We are a very small group and feel very connected to each other. The group is progressing very well, and we are delighted to welcome new members who will benefit from this excellent experience and support. Very welcome every Thursday at Goethe Institut at 18:30!

Dear parents and teenagers!
Last week we started with our new event for teens as it is known that one of the main difficulties in a new place of residence is socialization and communication in safe and pleasant company. Due to the complex age-related changes, teenagers would rather stay in their rooms than explore the world. To support our teenagers, we have invented and organized Sunday Walks. These are weekly meetings of different formats: fun games, educational workshops, getting to know each other, and the cool places in Lisbon. Only for young people 14+. The entrance is free. You can bring water and snacks.
Come and join us EVERY SUNDAY, from 15.30 to 17.30.
Led by: Nadia Pozharska (mother of a teenager) and Tamara Andreeva (psychologist)

Every Thursday, you are invited to an evening club with psychologist, psychosomatologist, family consultant and art therapist Anna Osipova! In our evening group with Anna you can share your experiences in your mother tongue, discuss your questions, doubts, dilemmas and, above all, learn new techniques for overcoming life's challenges and get the support you need. We will deal with stress in a very creative way, each Thursday we will learn different techniques to explore various aspects of ourselves and overcome those that prevent us from dealing constructively with everyday challenges. We will use ART - creativity to talk to our subconscious - we will draw, sculpt with plasticine and clay, and work with metaphorical associative maps and inner images.
