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.

“I’m Falling Apart Emotionally”: What Children and Parents Bring to Online Psychologists During Wartime

The Voices of Children Foundation’s online psychological support helpline receives requests every day from children and parents across Ukraine and abroad. Anxiety and sleep disorders, loss of appetite, self-harm, and burnout among mothers — chronic stress gradually wears down mental health. The first signs often appear through physical symptoms, leading families to seek help from pediatricians or gastroenterologists before realizing that the root cause may be psychological and emotional strain.
