WELCOME TO
We are a women-led non-profit organization supporting personal growth, emotional recovery, and entrepreneurial empowerment.
Founded in Canada by three Ukrainian women, VONA creates safe and inspiring spaces where women can confidently learn, heal, connect, and lead.
Our programs focus on psychological support, legal guidance, education, and small business development — helping women take meaningful steps toward stability, independence, and self-realization.
We believe that when women thrive, communities grow stronger.
VONA FOUNDATION
Psychological Recovery
Emotional well-being is the foundation of personal strength and growth, especially during times of transition, stress, or uncertainty.
At VONA Foundation, we recognize the emotional challenges women and newcomers face adapting to a new life. Through our Psychological Recovery programs, we provide tools, support, and safe spaces to help individuals process their experiences and move forward with renewed confidence.
Our support includes:
-
Group and individual sessions led by experienced psychologists
-
Stress-reduction techniques and guided practices for emotional regulation
-
Workshops on trauma recovery, self-care, and building emotional resilience
-
Support for managing anxiety, fear, isolation, and adjusting to new environments
Whether you're dealing with difficult memories, struggling to focus, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you are not alone. Healing takes time, and we are here to walk with you through every step of the journey.
Emotional recovery is not just about feeling better — it's about rebuilding your inner world with strength and compassion.
