Hanna Dushkova and Vitalii Diakov, both lawyers from Ukraine, fled from their home in Odessa after the Russian invasion in early 2022. Today they have made Dundee, Scotland their home and are now using their mediation skills and personal experiences to teach refugees, and those working with them about the power of emotional health.
