Balanced State of Wellbeing for Ukrainian Newcomers (Roots and Wings) | Коріння та крила

Written By Kelyn Zhang

Valentyna Petrenko joins CIRH’s Iryna Osadcha to explore how migration reshapes identity and wellbeing for Ukrainian newcomers, reflecting on the emotional challenges of adapting to a new country, language, and way of life. Grounded in the concept of “roots and wings,” she offers a compassionate, trauma-informed perspective for those navigating or supporting the immigrant experience.
