Today, we’re proud to share a breakthrough that shows what’s possible when science, technology, and compassion come together.
Our latest research now published in JMIR Research Protocols describes the creation of the world’s first validated mental health screener and interactive resiliency course for Ukrainian refugees.
This free, 24/7 online program provides immediate, stigma-free support to anyone with an internet connection. It’s being built alongside, and culturally adapted by, displaced Ukrainian engineers at Softhouse Group. Offering advice and guidance is leading Ukrainian MD/PhD Dr. Sofiia Lahutina.
Beyond its humanitarian impact, this achievement:
The first phase, the launch of the Ukrainian mental health screener, is now live. In a few weeks we will be launching the English version of the interactive resiliency course, followed by the Ukrainian version, which is currently being coded by Softhouse Group.
