Supporting the mental health of children during wartime is a highly complex and sensitive issue, especially for those who lived under the occupation of Russian forces.

❓ How do we communicate with them?

❓ How can we help effectively?

❓ And most importantly, how do we avoid causing harm?

These are daily challenges faced by civilian-military cooperation workers, police officers, State Emergency Service staff, and mobile teams across all de-occupied territories of Ukraine.

To address these critical needs, we are conducting a series of training sessions as part of the Global Course on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) for children during wartime.

From September 21–23, a training session will take place for participants from Mykolaiv and Kherson regions.

The “Supporting the Mental Health of Children in De-Occupied Territories of Ukraine” Project is implemented by the Boston Children's Hospital's Global Health Program of Harvard University (USA) in partnership with the NGO “Community Self Help” (Ukraine).
