Over the past year, London based psychotherapist and trauma specialist Emily Cavendish has been collaborating with Olga Peskova, a remarkable Ukrainian woman who returned home from London to Odesa to found VseSylini (to empower). There, she and her team of psychologists, psychotherapists, doctors, administrators and volunteers offer frontline soldiers vital psychological help.

These men and women have witnessed unimaginable horrors. Many live with Acute Stress Disorder and PTSD. At VseSylini, they receive individual and group therapy, psychoeducation, and strategies to cope with trauma.

The clinic is now treating its 11th group of active-duty soldiers during their two weeks of leave. Demand is growing and the clinic is hoping to expand their services to include veterans, combat medics, family members, prisoners of war and displaced civilians.

Through Cares Ukraine, we now have a secure way to channel donations directly to VseSylini. 

• Your support will fund:
  Salaries for clinicians and staff.
• Trauma-focused training and supervision.
• Equipment like VR glasses and neurofeedback tools
• Outreach work with medics and marines.
• Expansion to include veterans and families.

Every contribution helps us offer healing, dignity, and hope to those who’ve sacrificed everything to defend their country and their people.
