MN Give to the Max Day is Today!

Please help us reach our $20,000 goal

to continue supporting Ukrainian psychologists and refugees.

In February, the war in Ukraine will begin its third year. The destruction and devastation continues and so does the ongoing trauma. The exhaustion is palpable and touches every Ukrainian - no matter where they have taken refuge or whether they are fighting on the front lines.

 

Now, more than ever, they need support and tools to help them cope with the atrocities of the war, the loss of loved ones, homes, communities and culture — and the grief of it all. 

BreathLogic co-founder Laurie Ellis-Young and her husband, George T. Ellis, Psy.D, have a heart connection with Ukraine and her people, having lived and worked in Kiev from 2016-2021.

 

They wrote much of their internationally award-winning book Breath Is Life: Taking In and Letting Go, How to Live Well, Love Well and BE Well, while Dr. George was hired by (OSCE) Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe to set up a mental health program for “peace monitors” and staff working throughout Ukraine.

When the war started, Laurie and Dr. George supported many of the Ukrainian psychologists by providing individual and group online sessions, teaching breathing techniques to address stress and trauma.

 

In September last year, they held a weeklong in-person training, sharing more advanced techniques for those psychologists who could travel to Cyprus. Laurie and Dr. George continue online Resilience Training sessions for Ukrainian psychologists to this day.

How changing the life of one person can change the lives of many!

Ukrainian psychologist, Oksana Ruda, Ph.D., and Ukrainian refugee, Iryna, Petrus are two examples of people whose lives have been dramatically changed by learning BreathLogic's breathing techniques.

 

Immediately upon finishing one of Laurie and Dr. George's workshops, Dr. Ruda began training fellow psychologists and refugees. She witnesses the powerful results of teaching these techniques daily and is anxious to learn more.  

Iryna Petrus, a Ukrainian refugee who fled to the US with her young daughter, now provides help to other Ukrainian refugees at the Ukrainian American Community Center in Minneapolis, MN.

 

She is grateful for the breathing techniques BreathLogic has taught her already and uses them daily to help fellow refugees. She is ready to expand her learning to provide even greater support.

In January 2024, Laurie will lead a weeklong in-person advanced training program in Guatemala.

 

BreathLogic is raising funds during this year's Give to the Max campaign to send Oksana and Iryna and others like them to this training.
