We are leaders in providing trauma informed, evidence based therapeutic yoga and mind/body protocols and training with many years experience working with survivors of conflict and violence: helping veterans, refugees and children face the mental and physical challenges of living with trauma related symptoms like PTSD.
In Ukraine, under the leadership of Yuliia Denysova - drawing upon over 15 years of experience of working with trauma and adapting it to Ukrainian realities - we offer peer-to-peer support — from one Ukrainian to another. Our integrative approach includes evidence-based therapeutic yoga, somatic-oriented practices, NSDR, self-regulation techniques, and the use of modern tools such as tDCS and Biofeedback. We create an ethical, safe, and trauma-informed space for rehabilitation, nervous system recovery and resilience building.
In the UK we deliver and fund free yoga classes in shelters and community spaces to refugees, survivors of domestic violence, survivors of violence and conflict, and people facing systemic bias due to sexual orientation, income, age, racial or cultural identity.
We provide trauma informed yoga teacher training and scholarships in advanced therapeutic yoga and holistic practices and the NHS accredited social prescribing program for marginalised and / or minoritised ethnicity students.
Within a diverse, welcoming environment of safety, inclusivity, dignity and empowerment
UKRAINE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL APPEAL
Fierce Calm is an established UK registered non-profit providing mental health support, trauma recovery and resilience programs within the Ukrainian state healthcare system in trauma rehabilitation centres, veterans hospitals, refugee centres and children's hospitals.
PLEASE HELP US provide essential psychological, psychosocial and physical support to Ukrainian children and families in need at the Ukrainian National Rehabilitation Centre in Lviv, Ukraine.
Fierce Calm is focused upon helping people heal from the trauma of war through specialist holistic practices including yoga, mindfulness and art therapy. Since 2022 we have been based in Ukraine supporting displaced women and children, distributing humanitarian aid and working within the Ukrainian state rehabilitation program for civilian and veteran amputees.
Our program has been so successful that the Ukrainian National Rehabilitation clinical team has urgently requested we provide our services alongside the clinical staff at the UNBROKEN KIDS centre in western Ukraine where we will provide pediatric holistic therapy, psychosocial support and physiotherapy under clinical supervision.
OUR CHILDRENS TRAUMA REHABILITATION PROGRAM is centred upon the UNBROKEN KIDS Center at the St Nicholas hospital in Lviv which stands as a beacon of hope, providing a holistic approach to the medical care and rehabilitation of children impacted by war. The center offers reconstructive surgery, orthopedics, and custom robotic prosthetics.
We need your help and support in providing these children and their families with essential psychological & psychosocial support.
Every single donation helps.
“With a central mission of making yoga and self-regulation practices accessible to all, directly, and in partnership with others committed to this work, we are effectively helping to heal, uplift and empower communities worldwide."
Robyn Childers, Fierce Calm Ambassador (they/them)
