Our mission is to improve access to Brainspotting therapy and support for those who need it the most - in communities affected by war, natural and human-made disasters.
History of Brainspotting Help
When the invasion of Ukraine forced millions of women and children to flee to neighboring countries, a group of European Brainspotting trainers felt compelled to act. Recognizing the immense pressure and trauma faced by first responders and volunteers assisting these refugees, they organized a webinar titled "How to Support in Crisis; Powerful Brainspotting Insights." The goal was to equip these individuals with valuable techniques to better support the refugees in their care.
Concurrently, more than 150 volunteers have signed up to offer free Brainspotting sessions to affected individuals in Ukraine and refugees. The initiative expanded to include free consultation groups for Ukrainian therapists, further amplifying the project's impact.
In the wake of the devastating Maui fires, we have expanded our support services to include survivors of this tragedy. Additionally, thanks to our dedicated volunteer coordinators, we've established support systems for survivors of Hurricane Helene and the Southern California wildfires.
We are deeply grateful for the dedication and support of volunteer clinicians, consultants, coordinators and donors who make this project possible.
