A story dies with the people who carry it.

The Center for Traumatic Stress is the first systematic platform in Ukraine built to help veterans and their families recover from the psychological cost of war.

systematic platform of its kind

Ukraine faces a wave of psychological trauma without precedent in modern Europe. Millions of veterans — and the families who wait for them — will carry the war home long after the fighting ends. The systems to help them barely exist.

The Center is building them: combining research, clinical therapy, education, and social support into one platform, with special attention to the needs of women who served. It's led by Major General (retired) Vladyslav Klochkov.

"The opening of the Center is our duty to those who risked their lives for Ukraine."

How the Center works

Research, education, recovery

Research base

Evidence-led methods developed in collaboration with international partners, including the University of Texas.

Education

Training for therapists, social workers, veterans, and volunteers — so help can scale across the country.

Recovery programs

"Veterans Beyond Borders" rehabilitation and a dedicated women's psychological recovery program — movement therapy, art therapy, and crisis counseling.

Help build the place that brings them back.
