The team of the Team4UA Charitable Foundation continues to strengthen the capacity of professionals working with internally displaced people at the local level. This month, at Community Studio, we held a training titled “Humanitarian Principles and a Trauma-Informed Approach in Working with IDPs.”
The event brought together 16 women professionals from the public sector involved in humanitarian response, including specialists from relocated communities in Luhansk, Donetsk, and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
“We meet professionals at transit points, in communities, and in support spaces — where assistance happens in real time. That’s why these trainings are about the quality of decisions on the ground, professional resilience, and real support for people,” shared Vasilisa Krushylnytska, PSEA Officer at Team4UA.
During the training, participants combined theory with practice: they discussed humanitarian principles and ethical dilemmas, explored how psychological trauma works, practiced trauma-informed communication, addressed burnout prevention and personal resilience, and worked with professional boundaries and reflection at the end of the training.
“We sincerely thank the Team4UA team for the valuable and practical knowledge that helps us cope with daily stressors and provide quality support to those who need it most — especially our people from Bakhmut,” shared a specialist from the “With Bakhmut in Our Hearts” NGO.
Activity is implemented within the framework of the “Emergency Assistance and Support to Evacuations (EASE)” project, in collaboration with the TERA Consortium, with financial support from Ukraine Humanitarian Fund (UHF).
