The Capital Campaign for Healing Ukraine

The need is now. The time is now.

The Ukraine Institute of Traumatherapy is a partnership between IMHC, the UIT Charitable Fund and Ukraine Institute of Traumatherapy, LLC. (see below)


We currently provide outpatient services through the Center for Psychological Counseling and Trauma Therapy “Open Doors” (a structural unit of the Int’l Institute of Postgraduate Education [IIPE] that provides U.S. Standards of Care in Ukraine.) 


Since 2022, Open Doors has provided 24,192 total clinical hours of counseling with 2,419 clients and 87% of those who complete our survey report an improvement in their emotional state, reduced anxiety and the ability to effectively cope with everyday challenges.


However, even with telehealth capabilities,
we cannot keep up with demand.

~~~

Therefore, Dr. Zaporozhets & Dr. Syvak made the bold decision based on detailed research into current buildings and partnership options, to purchase 15 acres of land and build a new, state-of-the-art, first of its kind rehabilitation center for mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual healing, created to restore Ukrainian active-duty military, veterans and civilians. UIT will focus is on ensuring Ukrainian military servicemembers receive rehabilitation and their return to active service; veterans are healed and given the tools for a fully engaged and resilient life as they transition back to the civilian world; and their families and other civilians receive the care and healing needed to process and recover from their war trauma.

UIT will be a training and research center focused on best practices and education of the next generation of clinicians providing world-class trauma care. UIT staff will train medical and mental health professionals, conduct research and test treatments & techniques - with the goal of becoming a global leader in war related trauma therapy.

  It will be an innovative place where 

science, technology and humanity are combined 

to ensure every Ukrainian affected by war trauma 

has the opportunity to heal and lead a resilient life.

UIT staff will train mental health professionals, validate evidence-based treatment approaches and techniques in Ukraine. Our goal is to become a leader in traumatherapy and training provider in Ukraine. We will share our knowledge with professionals around the world.

   Our multidisciplinary team will include psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals, neurology, addiction specialists, nurses and chaplains to provide holistic and integrated care. 

During the last two years, we have provided almost 25,000 direct clinical hours of counseling with 2,419 clients - but this is just a drop in the bucket. The Russian aggression and war against Ukraine, for over a decade since the first incursion into Crimea in 2014, has led to thousands needing assistance. Ukrainian government and UN estimates put the potential number of veterans at 3 million. Tens of thousands of civilians are in need of physical and mental health services to heal from war trauma.

The critical need for a permanent UIT complex is now.

    In 2024, we purchased 15 acres (6 hectares) south of Kyiv, ordered architectural and engineering plans, artistic renderings – 2D & 3D, and carried out preparatory work necessary for the construction of the 1st building. As of March 2025, we are about 80% complete with the Pre-Build Phase. The Pre-build budget is $438,718.13 - and we have already raised (and spent!) $396,978 of those funds.


    PRE-BUILD BUDGET:                                                                             USD                        UAH

    Purchase of Land                                                    $259,107  /  10882492,00

    Taxes                                                                          $36,366    /    1527372,00

    Zoning change from residential to public           $246        /     10332,00

    Bringing electricity to the site (680 kW)              $68,135    /    2861670,00

    Detailed architectural & engineering plans         $70,740    /     2971085,40

    Government permits                                               TBD

    In 2025, we launched our ambitious capital campaign to raise funds for the first construction. Our goal is to provide a foundation in the first building (building #8 in the architectural drawings) by May 2025. The total cost of the first building is $3,225,000 (prices may fluctuate due to inflation, material costs and exchange rates).


    The first building will be a modern, first-of-its-kind 3,225 square meter, 3-story building, with a bomb shelter below ground and walk-out basement level, easy access from the road and visible to all who pass by. 

    This first building will provide:

    § Outpatient care (1st floor)  

    § Administrative & conference space (2nd floor),  

    § Inpatient care (3rd floor), and  

    § Basement level with bomb shelter, meeting rooms, gym & 

    multipurpose spaces


    Phase 1 = $1.2M

    Will include: foundation, bomb shelter, exterior walls, roof, insulation and windows


    Phase 2 = $2.025M

    Will include: interior designs to medical specifications, painting, water, electrical, heating, air conditioning, ventilation, Internet & security


    Cost Breakdown (in USD):

    $240 000 for each floor above ground. $480 000 for floor below ground.

    Price per sq. meter = $920 – $1,200  

    Depending on exchange rate, materials costs and inflation; $1 USD = approx. $41.50 Ukrainian hryvnia


    Thank you for your Support.
