Even more Activities for Children, Parents, and Professionals: May Events at the "Voices of Children" Centers

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.

Cooking Dinner Without Electricity: How We Supported Families Remaining in Frontline Kherson
In Kherson, the day often begins with a single question, “Will there be electricity today?” The answer determines whether a child will be able to finish their homework, whether parents can heat up dinner, and whether there’s enough battery left on a phone to call loved ones. The city continues to endure daily shelling, which has, tragically, become part of everyday life. To help ease the daily challenges faced by families in the frontline Kherson region, the Kherson NGO “Journalists’ Association ‘AlternatyvA’” implemented the project “Rapid Winter Response for Ukrainian Children and Families” with the support of the Voices of Children Foundation and funding from ERIKS.
What Happens to Ukrainian Children After Returning from Russian Occupation: A Voices of Children Analytical Study
Nearly 600,000 children living in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine attend schools that have been fully converted to the Russian education system (according to the Centre for Civic Education “Almenda”). Overall, as of October 2024, around 1.6 million Ukrainian children aged 0–18 remained in temporarily occupied territories. The Voices of Children Foundation conducted the analytical study “Returning Childhood: Psychological Support for Children on Their Path to Reintegration” to better understand what families face after returning from Russian occupation.
