But it was the invisible scars carried by Ukrainian rescuers that affected me most. Seeing what they endure, often without the support they need, made it impossible for me to simply walk away. That became the motivation to do something — and ultimately led to the creation of Brave Minds.” — Edward Matthews, Brave Minds project manager https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/88472d23-5efd-4471-bf1a-35e017568a99/2025-06-09+18.32.28.jpg News - How A Visit to Kharkiv Sparked a Project That Aims to Support Thousands of Ukrainian Rescuers - Make it stand out Rescuers from the Mobile Rescue Centre take a brief moment to rest during a difficult shift. Kyiv, June, 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/6029271f-111c-404a-b9ea-9c2090c15eec/DSCF8766+2.jpg News - How A Visit to Kharkiv Sparked a Project That Aims to Support Thousands of Ukrainian Rescuers - “Firefighters often carry what they have seen and experienced silently. Many of them have been taught that showing vulnerability is a sign of weakness, so they keep their emotions to themselves rather than talking about them. But when difficult experiences and personal struggles are constantly suppressed, they can build up over time, leading to persistent tension, anxiety and, in some cases, panic attacks. Creating a safe space where firefighters can speak openly about what they are going through is an important part of building psychological resilience.” — Viktoriia Kryvolapchuk, Lead Psychologist at Brave Minds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/7701036f-a432-4704-a877-1e794ba163a4/IMG_3333.JPG News - How A Visit to Kharkiv Sparked a Project That Aims to Support Thousands of Ukrainian Rescuers - Make it stand out Rescuers in Kharkiv https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/6deeb34d-f616-4859-b437-2cccc5d0243c/BM+posts+%28LinkedIn+Post%29.jpg News - How A Visit to Kharkiv Sparked a Project That Aims to Support Thousands of Ukrainian Rescuers - Brave Minds is a small team with a shared purpose. https://bravemindsua.org/news/what-does-brave-minds-do monthly 0.5 2026-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/88a5fa56-0524-496c-a52e-b05ec79320d1/IMG_9778.jpg News - What Does Brave Minds Do? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/034e31c8-19e1-41f8-a402-734f9ff7d9c9/IMG_9777.jpg News - What Does Brave Minds Do? - “Strong teams are built on trust, equality, unity and mutual support. When firefighters can openly talk to their colleagues about fear, difficult calls and the emotional challenges they face, they begin to understand that they are not alone. Knowing that others have experienced similar feelings can make it easier to ask for help and support one another.” — Viktoriia Kryvolapchuk, CEO & Lead Psychologist at Brave Minds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/526506c6-2b41-4ddd-8b2d-c55170e01871/DSCF8837.jpg News - What Does Brave Minds Do? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/5cb2d186-8d38-4657-9f93-1f66a91db6c0/IMG_9914.JPG News - What Does Brave Minds Do? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://bravemindsua.org/news/chernihiv-meeting-the-rescuers-behind-the-mission monthly 0.5 2026-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/d92098bd-b9c9-4ebf-ad3b-61e0104f602e/588432426_1282540323904969_4375065603598500982_n+%281%29.jpg News - Chernihiv: Supporting Rescuers on the Front Line of Emergency Response - Make it stand out The Brave Minds team with the Chernihiv team of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SES) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/1789040328821-DBOYTXUQ5PD1L2EI4SIB/587777527_1282540223904979_9053833877749638938_n+%281%29.jpg News - Chernihiv: Supporting Rescuers on the Front Line of Emergency Response https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/1789040310837-6M9WLYW5J4V1634JU66H/0L0A0382.JPG News - Chernihiv: Supporting Rescuers on the Front Line of Emergency Response https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/1789040334678-50ITV2NTKYG7TE4X0TAK/0L0A0507.JPG News - Chernihiv: Supporting Rescuers on the Front Line of Emergency Response https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/1789040414169-VB49SOVMI16GXY4Y7X81/0L0A0314.jpg News - Chernihiv: Supporting Rescuers on the Front Line of Emergency Response https://bravemindsua.org/news/1i8gp6oycozdnij0f24m49o3l59r1r monthly 0.5 2026-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/332be704-e6e0-474b-a7bd-3db9b3ced613/IMG_9889.jpg News - Odesa: Strengthening Psychological Support for Rescuers - Make it stand out The Brave Minds team with representatives of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SES) in Odesa Region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/f7c4ad23-cd97-4e79-a900-8786619d41c4/IMG_9887.jpg News - Odesa: Strengthening Psychological Support for Rescuers - Make it stand out Edward Matthews, Project Manager at Brave Minds, with Denys Platonov, Head of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in Odesa Region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/1789038930671-1X6SL8A0KLX70DA590M6/IMG_BAD35D61FFCA-5.jpeg News - Odesa: Strengthening Psychological Support for Rescuers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/1789038930742-S5AJZ5W9IA7XV2PAI2OS/IMG_BAD35D61FFCA-6.jpeg News - Odesa: Strengthening Psychological Support for Rescuers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/1789038932177-X43AFNMIB7QSM4602HLR/IMG_BAD35D61FFCA-7.jpeg News - Odesa: Strengthening Psychological Support for Rescuers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/1789038932269-C6OJKA4XDHAM4LNAFKJL/IMG_BAD35D61FFCA-8.jpeg News - Odesa: Strengthening Psychological Support for Rescuers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/9bdf996d-6a7f-4d4a-affe-336aa95e81e8/IMG_BAD35D61FFCA-3.jpeg News - Odesa: Strengthening Psychological Support for Rescuers - “Being at the site of the attacks give a real perspective on what rescuers face every day.

Even under normal circumstances, their work is incredibly demanding, especially when it comes to wildfires, which pose a unique set of challenges. But during wartime, when enemy attacks include shelling, landmines, and aerial drones, the risks increase exponentially. The threat of unexploded ordnance, mines, and direct aerial strikes makes their mission extraordinarily perilous. The enemy continues to target civilians without hesitation, intensifying the psychological toll on those who serve. Being present with the team, witnessing their daily challenges, and engaging with them is of immense value to our project. It allows our psychologists to better understand the emotional landscape and lived experiences of those who seek our support. This direct connection helps us offer more attuned and effective care. I am deeply grateful to the leadership of the emergency service for supporting our initiative. Together, we can help reduce the psychological strain on rescuers, assisting them in managing their fears, difficulties, and emotional burdens.” Lead Psychologist Viktoriia near Izyum (Photo: Edward Matthews) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/dcd66590-20b7-416c-8efd-c5c89c5d5430/DSCF8715.jpg News - On the Frontlines with Heroes: A Visit to Kharkiv Oblast Forest Fires - Make it stand out Ukrainian fire truck fitted with anti drone protection systems at the scene of the forest fire (Photo: Edward Matthews) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/91d2d2bf-ff0f-4189-a083-7ddd1a94a623/DSCF8837.jpg News - On the Frontlines with Heroes: A Visit to Kharkiv Oblast Forest Fires - Make it stand out Firefighter drags a heavy fire hose across charred ground (Photo: Edward Matthews) https://bravemindsua.org/news/brave-minds-delivers-first-online-therapy-session monthly 0.5 2025-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/4a5110c6-82b7-41e4-9964-5b43a27a7f34/DSCF2126.jpg News - Brave Minds Delivers First Online Therapy Session - Make it stand out Firefighter in Kharkiv October 2024 https://bravemindsua.org/contact daily 0.75 2026-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/51deb87d-509b-4772-868b-e9fd2daeaa4f/Brave+Minds+Logo+Black.png https://bravemindsua.org/about daily 0.75 2026-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/7c8e3070-c504-4140-bdcd-71dfb1c2cbda/Brave+Minds+Logo+black+UA.png https://bravemindsua.org/homeold daily 0.75 2026-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/95e01625-ea5b-4107-af78-5f4c03df9aee/DSCF2126-2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/e8c711af-369d-45d4-ab8a-e58324bd8a79/Bravery.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/33c78802-e173-4637-a0ea-4226ac4aa2a9/DSC05589.jpg https://bravemindsua.org/donate daily 0.75 2026-08-03 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/737cb5c1-896a-4e7f-a416-025c4e081230/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6764a54749014b29d5706af0/737cb5c1-896a-4e7f-a416-025c4e081230/thumbnail Donate Support Ukrainian rescuers' mental health through donations to Brave Minds, a project by Fire Aid.
