We are building the future of trauma recovery in Ukraine

With Gratitude, the Journey to Hope & Healing Continues

In 2024, we purchased 15 acres (6 hectares) south of Kyiv, ordered architectural and engineering plans, artistic renderings – 2D & 3D, and carried out preparatory work necessary for the construction of the 1st building. As of August 2025, we are about 95% complete with the Pre-Build Phase. The Pre-build budget is $456,718.13 – and we have already raised (and spent!) $440,978 of those funds.

We are currently waiting for the ability to apply for and obtain our building permits ($15,000) and have 25% of the cost of building ($806,250 USD) in hand. The Ukrainian Parliament recently passed a new law that will affect our project and permitting process. We are currently waiting for President Zelenskyy to sign the bill into law so we can move forward working with the local authorities.

The Ukrainian Institute of Traumatherapy (UIT) provides psychological support to civilians, military personnel, veterans, their families, and children who have experienced the traumatic impact of war. Every month, we conduct approximately 1,200 hours of counseling for more than 300 clients.

But it’s not enough.

The war has created an unprecedented level of trauma among both military and civilians. In addition to psychological services, many people now need comprehensive physical rehabilitation, other medical care, and most importantly, a safe environment for recovery.

Since 2024, we’ve been building the Ukraine Institute of Traumatherapy —  a modern center in the Kyiv region — where everyone can receive psychological help without waiting lists, stigma, or fear.

In the future, the UIT campus, being built 30km south of Kyiv, will have both in-patient and out-patient facilities for even more military, veterans, and families, including state-of-the-art facilities specifically for women, people struggling with addictions, Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and children and families who have experienced loss or violence. It will also offer sports therapy, nature trails, transition services for veterans and be based on successful veterans programs in the United States, and all our clinicians are trained to U.S. Standards of Care

This is more than construction — it is an investment.

Invest in the recovery of our society.

Invest in the future of Ukraine. 

Invest in a place where healing becomes possible…one client at a time.

CallSign:Courage

Ukrainian men hold up the sky, the front, and their families. 

For far too long, Ukrainian men have been taught to hold things in and not show emotion. Alongside strength must come vulnerability — and the right to receive help.

CallSign:Courage is a program supporting the mental health of Ukrainian men who are servicemembers and veterans. Over 1 million Ukrainian men have served in the military since 2022. Your contribution gives them the chance to speak, to live, and to heal.

Every month, CallSign:Courage provides:

  • 600+ hours of psychological services
  • Care for 145 men in Kyiv and nationwide
  • Advanced therapies like EMDR and CPT
  • Support for our partnership with the Ukrainian National Guard Honor Guard Unit

Give today and give a Ukrainian soldier or veteran a real connection to healing and the opportunity to learn to sleep again, trust again, and live again.
