A group of 20 psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers from Ukraine who are visiting Yale this week report that their embattled country lacks trained professionals to deal with growing demand for mental health services. A team of Yale experts are working with the visitors to help them learn to deal with untreated psychological wounds from last year’s violent suppression of protests in Kyiv (Kiev) as well as new cases of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) arising from ongoing battles with Russian-backed separatists in the eastern Ukraine.
