Mental health in times of war
As a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, many scholars and scientists have left the country. More than 30 Ukrainian researchers displaced by the war have temporarily joined the University of Luxembourg mainly as research fellows and in some cases under temporary contracts funded by the FNR. In this series of interviews, we briefly present the researchers and their work. Viktoriia Gorbunova is a Professor of Social and Applied Psychology Department at Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University. Currently, she is a Visiting Researcher at the Department of Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences of the Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences at the University of Luxembourg. What is your research field and which specific topic are you working on? My main research interests are Public Mental Health, Transgenerational Trauma and its Consequences as well as Education in Psychology. I am currently working on the Mental Health for Ukraine project with support from GFA Consulting Group in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.
