On January 13, 2025, the BURN project Winter School was officially launched. The primary goal of the project is to train specialists who will provide psychological support at the Centers for Psychological Resilience and Wellbeing in five Ukrainian universities.

The Winter School was officially opened by Professor Lars Kulchinke from the International Psychoanalytical University of Berlin (IPU Berlin GmbH). He introduced the training structure and provided recommendations for effective learning.

The first day of the program was dedicated to a workshop conducted by Mark Grant, the developer of protocols for managing chronic pain based on F. Shapiro's methods. Participants explored human reactions to traumatic events and studied therapeutic strategies for clients experiencing the aftermath of trauma.

Additionally, they worked with literature focused on this field and familiarized themselves with related protocols. Specialists discussed the impact of trauma on individuals, analyzed effective therapeutic approaches, and worked with practical case studies. Video materials featuring commentary by therapist Mark Grant were also reviewed.

Ukrainian partners found these resources highly valuable and recognized them as extremely helpful.
