Therapy for children and adolescents. We work with childhood war trauma at all levels of perception with the help of a new friend: the cuddle toy-dog Hibuki, who is ready to share all the sadness and pain of the child and suggest ways out to a new life.
Therapy for children and adolescents. How to adapt a child to a change of life? Building a clear strategy for finding sustainability in circumstances of constant turbulence and crises.
Meetings addressed to the parents who find themselves in a difficult life situation, forced to be the leaders of their children and their support in a crisis, and at the same time to find internal resources and life-support for themselves.
