In the midst of the Russia-Ukraine war, art as a form of therapy is bringing comfort thanks to one young lady with roots in the Boundary Region.

Alisa Hoodikoff has been working with children and families in Ukraine to help people heal and find outlets for the trauma they’ve experienced.

She established a studio in Kyiv in late 2022, where children and families can come for a few hours and make art in a safe, relaxing environment.
