Ukrainian Language Program

Co-led by Iryna Shokur and Yulia Fomina

The Ukrainian language program came about as a result of an invitation from the Ukrainian government to assist with its mission to convert its orphanage system into a foster system, moving children from institutions into families. The courses being translated and delivered have this mission in mind with the focus being on training social workers and foster parents, although they are now available to the general public as well. This program is being supervised by our senior faculty member Eva de Gosztonyi, who brings years of paradigm mastery, a European sensitivity, and a lifetime of administrative experience, to the table. The co-directors are both Ukrainian nationals, highly professional and absolutely dedicated to the task. Please consult the Ukrainian Orphan project, the Ukrainian language program website, and the director profiles for more information.

Тримайтеся за своїх дітей.

Чому батьки повинні бути важливішими за однолітків

Všechny Matého knihy, tj. Když tělo řekne NE, Držte si své děti, V říši hladových duchů, Roztěkaná mysl a Mýtus normálnosti koupíte v cenově zvýhodněném balíčku s názvem Gabor Maté.

Držte si své děti jsou dalším mimo-řádným titulem, který upozorňuje na jeden z nejnebezpečnějších (a zároveň jeden z nejvíce ignorovaných) negativních trendů dnešní výchovy, kdy rodiče ztrácejí své děti na úkor vrstevníků dětí mnohem dříve, než by bylo pro zdravý vývoj dětí dobré. Je to jedna z těch důležitých knih, které upozorňují na chřadnoucí psychické zdraví našich dětí - "kanárků v dole" dnešního predátorského, destruktivního systému. Mezi další knihy, které se zabývají tímto tématem patří Odpojený muž a Nevratné poškození.
