The GIDNA project strives to help women overcome the difficult period in their lifetime, restore love for themselves and their bodies, and look at life differently. To restore the feeling of strength and faith that every woman deserves only the best and can achieve anything she wants.
On August 11, the lecture "How to find support during the war" by Olena Sotnyk and Khrystyna Chernenko will take place in Warsaw. The purpose of the meeting is to empower Ukrainian women in Poland to adapt and find motivation for self-realization.
"Many women who evacuated abroad currently feel lonely and confused. Their lives changed radically: they could lose their jobs, homes, and contact with loved ones and find themselves in an unfamiliar country with one emergency suitcase.
At GIDNA events, women will feel that they are not alone in the hardest times for them. We want to help Ukrainian women of any age to believe in themselves, their strengths, and their capabilities. We want to create a friendly circle where you can share your experiences, adjust your inner compass, and feel that life goes on. And it is beautiful," — says Olena Sotnyk, co-founder and vice president of the Future for Ukraine Foundation.
"How to switch off "survival mode"? What is Delayed life syndrome and how to overcome it? At the lecture, we will look for personal support and inner strength. We will gain practical skills in planning and implementing goals," says psychologist Khrystyna Chernenko.
