This group came together in the early part of this year and has grown to be a truly incredible collective that functions across dozens of languages, borders, and cultures. In addition to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/traumahealing.org\/scope\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">30 different languages they\u2019ve translated the SCOPE tool into<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, two events were indicative of the profound success and reach that our collaboration with EASE has engendered. First, Ariel Giarretto and Lucia Roncalli recently offered a webinar entitled <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">A Somatic Approach to Healing Conflict Related Sexual Violence<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\"> which drew 519 registrants from 61 countries. The presentation of gentle and effective interventions for working with survivors followed by Q&A with participants offered tangible resources as well as a sense of connectedness for participants. Live interpretation was provided into Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and Spanish. Second, <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">SEUTF<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> hosted an information session with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.telehelpukraine.com\/i-want-to-help-1\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Telehelp Ukraine<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> to support their efforts to recruit additional volunteers to provide remote mental health services to Ukrainians in Ukraine and Poland. Any SEPs in our community licensed as a psychiatrist, psychologist or social worker are encouraged to explore this opportunity. Recordings of both events will be available soon on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLwRgVcZDcaczRgCrqguuGOvPYibqWKF39\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">SEUTF YouTube channel<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, among many other resources and recordings they\u2019ve developed.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">These events definitively show that when we come together and work collaboratively across distance and cultures, we can achieve miraculous outcomes.
