The developing conflict in Ukraine is deeply concerning for all, not least for those directly affected and who will feel the brunt of the psychological impact of the crisis and potential human rights violations.

We stand shoulder to shoulder with our colleagues in Ukraine in the face of aggression, and we are ready to draw on the collective expertise of our membership to provide any necessary psychological aid and human rights support during the crisis.
