In February 2022, the Somatic Experiencing Ukraine Task Force (SEUTF) was established to respond to the crisis in Europe caused by the escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War. A cooperative effort of hundreds of volunteers from 37 countries on four continents, this rapid mobilization and the resources it has garnered to address war trauma represents a historic first for the global SE® community. This article documents the processes and outcomes of the SEUTF in order to inform best practices for other body psychotherapy practitioners who may want to organize and sustain effective cooperative responses to the trauma caused by war and other collective crisis moments in real-time, as situations are unfolding.
