A project like ERL is born out of necessity and from encounters between people who want to get involved for a cause.

This was the case with the creation of ERL in response to the war in Ukraine. Because the need could be voiced to someone who listened and shared it, a sustainable initiative was able to take shape.

The group that formed between Ukrainian and European practitioners meets regularly and continuously. The virtual space has become a much-anticipated meeting point for participants. Bonds have been strengthened through in-person gatherings. Today, there is a genuine synergy of sharing and research on field psychotherapy.
