About Empatia program
We bridge gaps in mental health support
Empatia is an innovative program dedicated to improving the mental health of Ukrainians displaced by the war. What sets Empatia apart is its unique approach: connecting Ukrainian psychologists with Dutch healthcare institutions to improve mental health service delivery.
By building these connections, we not only support the well-being of displaced Ukrainians but also provide Dutch mental health organizations and municipalities with culturally sensitive guidance to ensure they offer appropriate care.
This collaboration improves access to mental health support, enabling displaced Ukrainians to receive care in their native language. Our services include a helpline, support in employing Ukrainian mental health professionals, and specialized training for Dutch municipalities, GGD, and GGZ — creating impactful, culturally informed solutions for those in need.
