Since November 2022, a team of psychologists has been working in Vysoke on temporary locations. During this time, 45 groups of psychological support for children and parents were held there.

"In May, we got permanent premises. We prepared it and decided to make an official opening so that children and parents knew exactly where to get psychological support," said Alyona Chiryk, coordinator of the branch.

At the opening, the team held workshops for children of different ages and their parents.

"The room could barely fit all willing people. Parents attended classes with psychologists for the first time - they liked it. They never consulted psychologists at all. Those parents and children who visited us for the first time are already waiting for us to open registration for recruitment to the next groups," Alyona added.

We also thank our donors who made our work possible. You make miracles happen!

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.
