Center for psychological support for families of injured veterans

War changes everyone, so after the soldiers return home, establishing relationships in the family becomes a test - in the circle of loved ones, veterans receive the necessary support for recovery, or find themselves in a situation of misunderstanding and mutual accusations.

​

A family that is expecting a mother or father, son, daughter or brother from the war should be prepared for the fact that they may return "different". That the native person will "fight" for some time and will need our patience.

​

During the first meeting, psychologists establish contact and diagnose the condition. It is important that a person feels comfortable communicating with a psychologist. They also find out whether only psychological help is enough.

Psychological support for veterans is provided through various methods aimed at supporting their emotional and psychological well-being after returning from military service.

What help do we need:�

• Share experience and new knowledge with European specialists;
• Training for trainers who could share their knowledge;
• Training of family doctors, psychologists, social workers, educators in methods of quick psychological support;
• Establishment of cross-border exchange of knowledge on mental health issues;
• Help in the development of new techniques for overcoming post-traumatic stress disorder;
• Building a system of training, certification, monitoring the quality of training of psychologists and psychotherapists;
• Creation of a register of specialists and methods, systematization of data, development of a model of retraining and retraining of personnel, system of their involvement.

Thank you for attention!
