About the project

The project aims to support war-affected individuals by providing individual consultations with psychosocial and legal specialists, professional development opportunities through courses, trainings, and workshops, events promoting social adaptation and emotional recovery. These activities take place in safe and welcoming environments known as Zatyshno Spaces, as well as through mobile psychosocial and legal support teams operating in the Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv regions.

The project’s activities also include:

  • Assistance with employment
  • Support in accessing social benefits
  • Information campaigns
  • Support for survivors of gender-based violence
  • Organization of self-help groups and community socialization events

The effectiveness of the project is ensured through a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to addressing the needs of beneficiaries in frontline regions. This approach involves the coordinated work of case managers, lawyers, social workers, psychologists, and children’s educators.
