Ukraine: new resources
The College has made a range of new resources relating to the Ukraine crisis available to members, including:
- a new patient resource translated into Russian, to go with the updated Ukrainian resources
- a new eLearning podcast in which Dr Raj Persuad interviews a Ukraine-based psychiatrist who’s co-ordinating a support centre in Lviv
- a webinar focused on the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) mhGAP mental health toolkit for emergency settings

Translations of patient resources
We have now published a Russian translation of our patient information on coping after a traumatic event: Как справляться с последствиями пережитых психотравмирующих событий.
This is in addition to our recently added Ukrainian translations:
- Coping after a traumatic event Подолання наслідків травмуючої події
- Post traumatic stress disorder Посттравматичний стресовий розлад (ПТСР)
eLearning podcast
In the latest podcast to be added to our eLearning hub, Dr Raj Persaud spoke with Dr Orest Suvalo, a psychiatrist based in Ukraine who is coordinating a support centre that has been set up at Lviv central train station.
In the podcast they discuss the impact of the war on the mental health of the people he meets at the station, on those with mental health and psychiatric diagnoses, as well the impact on Dr Suvalo himself as he continues to live and work in Ukraine.
Webinar
