ICDL and DIR® Professionals are Supporting Ukrainians

 ICDL's main focus is to train professionals that then provide DIR® based support to their communities.  While there are services that ICDL provides directly to families through our DIR® Institute, most of the DIR® services and supports around the world are provided by the thousands of ICDL trained professionals in the 74 countries where we have trained DIR® professionals. 

ICDL is proud to be supporting the wonderful ICDL DIRFloortime® Experts we have in Ukraine to serve their fellow Ukrainians in this horrific time.  So far, ICDL has committed $30,000 in grants and direct support.  This will help to keep our DIR-based experts practicing and supporting families in desperate need.  

In addition to the support ICDL is providing, many ICDL DIRFloortime® professionals are volunteering their time to provide much needed support.  Did you see the article in the Washington Post that highlighted the work of many including Galina Itskovich and Irina Filonenko?  Please check it out.  I want to personally thank Galina and Irina and all of the other amazing people in the DIR community that have been working to support Ukraine, its people, and its refugees.  

There is no hesitation on my part in regards to ICDL providing funding and support for people in need to have access to DIR during this challenging times.  However, we can not do it without your help.  Please consider making a donation to ICDL.  I work hard to ensure that every dollar donated goes directly to advocacy, services to families, or direct support like we are providing in Ukraine.  I sincerely would appreciate any donation you can provide.  

I hope this awful war ends sooner than later.  I stand with Ukraine in support of their country and their people.
