Through an initial email to the IAGP network, the volunteer initiative has, since March 2022, overseen more than 45 supervision groups, support groups, therapy sessions, and individual supervision sessions. This has empowered over 450 Ukrainian psychotherapists to persist in voluntary engagement, providing therapeutic support to Ukrainian refugees, displaced persons, the military, and all those adversely affected by the war. In 2023, the initiative experienced further growth with the addition of eight new group leaders, facilitating the conduction of 27 groups.

In the course of 2023, over 300 Ukrainian psychotherapists availed themselves of the support and supervision services offered by the initiative.
