For specialists: join the free help
Psychologists, social workers, lawyers and mediators — working with veterans and families under supervision, under an agreement with the NGO.
Who we are looking for
Psychologists and psychotherapists
Counselling veterans, service members and families: adaptation, stress, anxiety, loss. Evidence-based methods, regular supervision.
Social workers
Social adaptation, information, advocacy, employment support — following state social-service standards.
Lawyers
Advice on benefits, combatant status, requests to authorities; representation in complex cases.
Mediators
Family or workplace conflicts after coming back — mediation without pressure on either side.
What it means in practice
- Format. 2–6 hours a week, online or in person in Kyiv. You set the load.
- Agreement. A volunteer or civil-law agreement with the NGO; free services are provided by the organisation, you act on its behalf. This is not paid practice and not the SYNTONIA catalogue.
- Supervision. Monthly group supervision free of charge.
- Community. Access to Talks, School and the closed SYNTONIA library; you can run a group or a lecture.
- Boundaries. Clients of free services are never moved into paid practice — a community rule set in the Regulations.
What we check before the first client
Not a formality — it is what we promise the people we help and what community social-service centres will ask about.
Education and method
A degree in the field and a method certificate (CBT, schema therapy, EMDR etc.) or social-work/legal qualification.
Supervisor
A supervisor contact with consent to verification; for psychologists — proof of regular supervision.
Documents of trust
Signed code of ethics, safeguarding policy, data-processing consent; for work with children — a criminal-record certificate.
A short call
30 minutes with the coordinator: your experience, limits, who you do not work with, how much time you have.
