A treatment for Ukrainian refugees
DIGNITY offers treatment for those who have experienced war and displacement.
If you’ve experienced violent events related to war or flight, it’s normal for your mind and body to react and for you to suffer physical and psychological effects.
These symptoms can affect your functioning and energy levels. This can make it difficult to cope with everyday life and negatively impact you and your family.
At DIGNITY, we are here to help you feel better. Our treatment is multidisciplinary and all therapists and interpreters are bound by confidentiality.
Treatment types
Group sessions
KOMPAS: For those who experience stress and discomfort in their everyday life related to experiences of flight and war, as well as worries about the future. The focus is on understanding your reactions and strengthening your ability to live an active and meaningful life.
Pain-School group sessions: For those who experience physical pain in addition to symptoms of stress. The focus is on regulating pain and stress to improve your quality of life.
Hot water pool treatment: This treatment is for those who want to strengthen their ability to live an active everyday life despite symptoms of stress and pain. The focus is on hot tub physiotherapy, which helps with relaxation, stress reduction, and muscle pain relief.
KOMPAS and Pain-school are offered in two formats: a format with combined psychotherapy and body therapy, and a format with psychotherapy and functional relaxation in two separate sessions on the same day.
Individual multidisciplinary programmes
Our treatment team consists of psychologists, physiotherapists, doctors, and social workers. In an individual multidisciplinary programme, you will typically have individual sessions with all or just a few professionals, depending on your needs.
