Empatia by OPORA Foundation
Amsterdam
Overview
Free Ukrainian-language psychological and legal support for displaced Ukrainians in the Netherlands, with help navigating care and finding Ukrainian-speaking professionals.
Details
Empatia is OPORA Foundation’s programme for displaced Ukrainians in the Netherlands. It offers a free Ukrainian-language helpline for emotional support, information about available psychological care and legal questions. The team helps people understand the Dutch care system and find routes to Ukrainian-speaking mental-health professionals; its website includes a map of specialists.
Legal support covers understanding rights, official letters and decisions, and practical next steps around matters such as work, housing, benefits and documents. The legal team provides information and guidance rather than representing applicants before courts or other institutions. Empatia also supports Ukrainian psychologists seeking work and advises municipalities and organisations working with displaced people.
