About the seminar:
Since February 2022, due to the war, more than 8 million Ukrainians have been forced to leave their homes and go abroad. The Ukrainian diaspora as a whole is significantly larger, and the current circumstances compel both newly arrived refugees and long-term residents abroad to seek help from psychotherapists.
How does migration affect the psyche? From a psychoanalytic point of view, migrants, regardless of age, experience a kind of “second adolescence,” as the adaptation process involves separation from the culture of origin and the formation of a new multicultural identity. How does this transition occur, and how can migrants be supported in maintaining mental balance?
These topics will be explored in detail during a seminar led by an Austrian psychotherapist of Ukrainian origin, who in recent years has gained significant experience working with Ukrainian migrants and has conducted over 70 psychoeducational seminars as a speaker and organizer, including for the Vienna Municipal Department for Integration and Cultural Diversity.
Participants will gain a unique opportunity to deepen their understanding of the psychological processes occurring in people who have experienced a forced change of culture and environment. They will learn methods for supporting such clients through different phases of adaptation and separation. Additionally, the seminar will provide practical tools for working with the emotional and cultural challenges that migrants may face, helping Ukrainian professionals to support their clients more confidently and effectively throughout this difficult journey.
Participation in the seminar includes receiving a certificate from Ukraine Sigmund Freud University (4 academic hours, 0.1 ECTS credits).
