Partner testimonials
Clinical observation from Ukrainian partners provided important evidence of impact. Oksana Golovko, Head of Clinical Psychology at Galychyna State Rehabilitation Centre, reported that Fierce Calm’s methodology fits clearly within the psychological and physical rehabilitation of amputees. She observed that patients experienced improved sleep, reduced pain symptoms, reduced or absent phantom pain, improved mood and wellbeing, and a restored sense of trust and security as they learned self-regulation skills.
First call, we kept working on creating high-quality protocols of treatment, invisible war wounds, and today our dream comes true. We had a first session of yoga therapy for treating invisible war wounds.
Our deepest admiration goes to festival organizers — Cheka’s own family and friends, and all who created this extraordinary occasion. They turned loss into a living tribute, building a new culture of remembrance that is intimate, compassionate, and powerful, while also raising substantial funds for the frontline.
Thank you for supporting us financially for the second time this year to get another boat out to sea with our defenders. Such partnerships about shared experience in rehabilitation, searching for new ways of recovery and return to active life.
