Short description of the presentation
Since the full-scale invasion in 2022, the Solidarity Hub at University of Oslo has been working to support psychologists in Ukraine and in Norway dealing with war and displacement-related trauma. In the talk, we will present the work done in this close collaboration with colleagues in Kyiv. We will focus on the trauma and challenges experienced by different communities affected by the war, on resilience and how we support helpers. We will also sketch our plans for community intervention research in Ukraine and in receiving countries. We are interested in discussing with you how to grow the network both on the practitioner and the research side, and how to best work with multipliers.
