To the good people in Ukraine, please know that many in the world stand with you. You are in our hearts and minds daily. There is a group of Professional Mental Health Counselors in the United States that particularly understands the kind of strain you are bravely enduring now. We are the International Association for Resilience and Trauma Counseling, an Affiliate of the American Counseling Association. We hope we can share with you resources and human contact for healing in the near future. The days are long and the nights are darker now. We stand with you and hope for the sunrise that brings peace, security, grace, and encouragement for all of you. It will be a long road, and we hope that we can walk that road with you, when the time comes, in any way that we can. Ϲлава Україні!
