I&#8217;ve been participating in several online discussions hosted by the all-volunteer <a href=\"https:\/\/globalfacilitators.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Facilitators Serving Communities (GFSC)<\/a> in support of Ukrainian facilitators to better understand their situation. Those able to leave Ukraine for other countries shared with us their challenges finding work opportunities when they&#8217;re seen primarily as refugees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;background: white\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #1a1a1a\">As one facilitator commented, \u201cI\u2019m dealing with who I was then vs. who I am now.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;background: white\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #1a1a1a\">It\u2019s hard to imagine <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #1a1a1a\">escaping the trauma of war, worried about family and friends back home, uncertain of how long they\u2019ll stay, and when or if they can return home \u2013 and not being able to find work in their profession.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: normal;background: white\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #1a1a1a\">That\u2019s why my GFSC colleagues and I are reaching out to members of other global facilitator communities to connect and network with those who have been displaced.
