WFWP Ukraine Offers Psychosocial Support for those in Need

Written by WFWP Ukraine

In cooperation with the Dnipro region Red Cross Society in Kyiv, WFWP Ukraine supported a new project, "Social adaptation of demobilized soldiers and their families, internally displaced people from the conflict zone.”

This project provided psychosocial support for people who needed additional assistance. These services included organized activities for group work and individual classes with qualified psychologists.

On July 2, the Dnipro region Red Cross Society in Kyiv hosted a psychological training for IDP families on the topic "Self-worth," as a part of "Ways of self-knowledge of the individual" course. There were 22 people, including 8 children, that took part in the training (in compliance with the quarantine restrictions). There were also two separate groups (with adults and children) in different rooms where experienced psychologists conducted classes. 

On July 16, 2020, another psychological training was held for demobilized servicemen, members of their families, wives of the victims, and Internally Displaced Persons (IDP). WFWP helped in organizing the event and invited IDP families, mothers, and wives of soldiers killed in the Anti-Terrorist Operation Zone (ATO). Psychologists worked in two groups with 30 adults and 11 children in different rooms. All those present received food kits from one of the event sponsors.
