Educational Partnership Launches Between Diia.Osvita and the Repower Charitable Foundation

Diia.Osvita, in collaboration with the Repower Charitable Foundation, has introduced a fresh educational initiative designed to assist individuals in managing anxiety and exhaustion through somatic practices. The program features a series of short videos created by body-oriented therapist Olha Kovalchuk, whose background includes working on psychological recovery programs for military personnel, establishing her as an expert in this field.

The body is the first to react to stress, manifesting as muscle tension, altered breathing patterns, and changes in body temperature. Through this project, participants will explore a range of techniques to address these symptoms. Covered topics include:

  • how to rapidly shift focus from mental thoughts to physical sensations;
  • methods for relaxing muscles and releasing underlying tension;
  • strategies for preparing for sleep and restoring focus and energy in the morning.

This launch highlights the increasing emphasis on psycho-emotional well-being in Ukraine, particularly amid the stressful circumstances the nation is facing. Somatic practices could become a vital resource for many people seeking effective ways to cope with the effects of anxiety and exhaustion in their daily lives.
