Our Centers are working tirelessly, providing essential support for children and their parents, helping them manage stress and obtain emotional support. We regularly host various classes, training sessions, and creative meetings at our 15 "Voices of Children" Foundation Centers. Through these efforts, children and adults not only receive essential assistance but also forge new friendships and experience genuine support.

Two "Safe Space" program groups have been launched at the Lviv Center of the Foundation.

The 7–9 year-old group always surprises us. These kids are mature beyond their years. They attend meetings regularly, participate actively, and raise difficult topics that concern them. One day, they discussed death, as some of the participants had lost family members in the war. The children supported each other, respected each other's feelings, and showed empathy. After a few more sessions, they became much closer, even started communicating with each other outside the Foundation, and now look forward to every meeting,
said Olena Makar, coordinator of the Lviv Center.

For adults, the "Parent Resource Group", which involved 12 wonderful mothers, concluded.

I am immensely grateful for the resourceful events, the communication, the opportunity to exchange experiences, and the wonderful time we spent together.

Thank you very much for the professionalism of psychologists Nataliia and Anastasiia — they provided nothing but useful resources and peace of mind.

“Good Hands”: July Stories from the Voices of Children Foundation’s Centres

The group at the foundation’s centre in Mykolaiv was already wrapping up when one of the girls asked if she could stay a little longer — she wanted to draw. The administrator came over to have a look at her work and saw a sad kitten, with two open hands above it bearing the words “Good Hands” and the Voices of Children logo. The drawing had a story of its own: a kitten just like this one lives in the entrance hall of the girl’s block of flats, and she and her mum feed it and keep it warm as best they can. The administrator asked whose hands they were in the drawing.
