Session 5: restoring the mental health of veterans of Ukraine
The question of restoring the mental health of veterans of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, who are reintegrating into civilian life, is very relevant at the present time.
As part of the implementation of the psychological assistance project of the NGO “Wives of ATO Veterans”, the final, fifth session of this course on the topic “Creating space” was held the other day.
Veterans and their family members learned new practical skills, namely noticing, naming and creating space, as well as showing gratitude and kindness. This makes it possible, with the daily repetition of the basic exercises, to master yourself in any stressful situations, to reduce the negative impact of circumstances and the environment, to be confident in yourself, to give advice to yourself and support your loved ones.
This project was created by the NGO “Wives of ATO Veterans” with the support of ISAR Unity within the framework of the project “Initiative of sectorial support of civil society”, implemented by ISAR Unity in a consortium with the Ukrainian Independent Center for Political Research and the Center for Democracy and the Rule of Law thanks to the sincere support of the American people, provided through The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and within the framework of the “WORTH: UNITY” competition program, which is financed from the state budget through the Ukrainian Veterans’ Fund of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs of Ukraine.
