Abstract

The American Psychiatric Association Foundation (APAF) recently awarded Languages of Care a $20,000 multi‐year grant from its Ukraine Disaster Relief Fund, a July 27 APAF news release stated. This grant will specifically support Languages of Care's work to translate and provide mental‐health‐related resources and supports in Ukraine. The Ukraine Disaster Relief Fund is designed to support human services organizations that address the mental health and well‐being of Ukrainian refugees, as well as those who are still in harm's way inside the country. Languages of Care supports crisis survivors, relief workers, and mental health practitioners by translating high‐quality, clinically reviewed and culturally sensitive resources into the languages most suitable for the community in need. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Languages of Care has been providing translated resources to refugees on the ground through evacuee transports and local organizations, and to mental health providers in many countries that accept refugees. With this grant, Languages of Care plans to support projects translating disaster mental health training and trauma‐informed teacher and school psychologist training into Ukrainian, Polish and Romanian.
