A group of veterans stands in a meadow with their arms raised above their heads.

Talk therapy stops at the edge of a war zone. We don’t.

Bodynamic Humanity grew out of Bodynamic’s work in Ukraine. It began in 2006 with training for clinicians and, from 2014, turned to the people coming home from the front.

We don’t replace local therapists. We train them, then leave the work in their hands. Today the work in Ukraine is Ukrainian-led, by people who know it from the inside.
