They are implemented in online support groups of highly qualified migrants displaced outside of Ukraine due to the war as well as Ukrainians remaining in Ukraine. Through awareness of feelings and emotional states, art-based coaching techniques enable to see inevitable changes through opening perspectives for development and resourcefulness of constant learning.
