The Bridge is a project created with the intent of promoting union and inclusion, whose mission is to ease the accessibility of psychological services, to fight stigma and to support diversity – the opposite of a war’s. It’s with great sadness that we witness it happening. As a facilitating bridge, we leave you with some initiatives you can support, to help in whichever way is possible for you:
International red cross committee
Portugal’s government support page
MBway’s “Support Ukraine” initiative (this one may not be available without a portuguese NIF, but you can still use it to check the humanitarian missions listed)
Also, witnessing this war can cause an array of reactions – its natural: from fear, to anxiety, fatigue, among many many others. We remind you that we’re available, every working day, from 2pm to 3pm, in our chat service to welcome you – ukrainians, russians, portuguese, any nationality. Outside this schedule, please e-mail us at geral.thebridge@unl.pt, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
A kind hug to all of you,
The Bridge’s team.
