At the end of July, our friends from the “Drukarnia” Civil Society Centre, with the support of the German non-governmental organisation “Bread for the World”, held the first on-site psychological rehabilitation session for displaced people in the Carpathian mountains.

The session was attended by 25 people who were forced to leave their homes in the once beautiful and peaceful cities of Mariupol, Sloviansk and Mykolaiv. All because of Russia’s attack on Ukraine.

As the “Drukarnia” team notes, psychological and psychosocial rehabilitation of displaced persons is currently very much needed, since many of them experienced the beginning of the war in Donbas in 2014.

Psychological support for the participants was provided by psychologists of the mobile brigade of social and psychological assistance of the city of Ivano-Frankivsk, who shared with them practical techniques for dealing with anxiety and coping with these difficult times.

The activities of the “Drukarnia” are implemented with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany and DRA e.V.
