Psychological Support for Victims of Russian Aggression in Ukraine
Area: Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Donetsk regions
Status: On-going
Budget: $18,900
Impact: 200 people
Our rehabilitation program, in partnership with the Yulia Yakovenko and Foundation”Blaga Nadiya,” aims to provide comprehensive support to veterans’ families, including parents, spouses, and children of fallen heroes. This initiative is coordinated by Rostyslav Oleksandrovych Burlak, a 53-year-old lawyer from Kriviy Rih who served in the Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Donetsk regions during the first two years of the war.
The program aims to establish a rehabilitation center offering social-psychological recovery, rehabilitation, and psychological counseling and therapy. We emphasize a combination of evidence-based and creative, humane approaches to care, ensuring personalized support in line with the “peer-to-peer” model. This initiative aligns with the national policy for providing psychological help to veterans and their families, as outlined by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
We focus on educating and empowering family members, ensuring they have the necessary knowledge and skills for self-help and understanding mental health challenges.
Through collaboration with Ukrainian and international experts, our training platform aims to enhance the skills and qualifications of our team, ensuring high-quality support for those affected by the war. This project leverages the full spectrum of energy-information practices, underscoring its unique and essential role in the national rehabilitation system.
