Healing Support: A Training for the Mothers of Fallen Heroes
In the Vysochanska community, the NGO “Veterans’ Wives,” together with the “Return” Hub, organized a special event for the mothers of fallen heroes. The training sessions conducted by experienced psychologist Anatolii Usenko focused on coping with stress, self-help in difficult emotional situations, and overcoming panic attacks.
“We deal with the most sensitive topics: stress reactions, losses, pain. During these meetings, we discuss how to help oneself at a moment when it feels like the world is falling apart. These are basic steps, but they are very important for restoring inner balance,” says Serhii Usenko, a psychologist leading the training sessions.
Participants were also introduced to an innovative device for the rehabilitation of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Currently, such devices are rare in Kharkiv, as well as specialists trained to work with them. However, the NGO “Veterans’ Wives” has the necessary equipment and a qualified team to provide quality assistance to veterans and their families.
Our organization is ready to offer free assistance to veterans in rehabilitation, including through the use of this device. We believe that thanks to such initiatives, everyone who has felt the pain of war will have a chance for recovery and a return to a full life.
With support GO “Wives of Veterans”
