The Foundation's team
In January, a team of the Kharkiv branch made its first visit to the Pisochyn community, as we have requests from children and parents for psychological support.
"When you send a wish into the universe, it can come true🙌🥰
After we returned home, we missed our beloved “Voices of Children” Foundation’s branch, we visited in Chernivtsi. And since today, it operates in the Pisо́chyn community of the Kharkiv oblast (region)🤝 Good things happen👌 Thank you that now in such difficult times, we have the opportunity to receive psychological, legal, social help, and that is just the tip of an iceberg" — a feedback from the family.

In January, the Foundation’s crew have found premises for the second branch in Kharkiv, and the team has already begun to equip it.
In January, the Lviv branch continues to work with teenagers using the "Upgrade Time" program. They are so active that they are already planning to join our “Youth Council”.
"I don't know what they do in these classes, but my child really likes it, she just lights up after the classes, even made new friends", — a feedback from the parents.
Also, the Lviv branch has a large number of requests for individual consultations, and 90% of the branch's work is in the psychological field (individual consultations and psychological support groups).
"We have completed numerous consultations this month and I have received positive feedback from parents: several individuals reported overcoming their fears, some improved their relationship with their parents, others started to sleep better" — shares Polina Startseva, a psychologist at the branch.
At the beginning of the year, the psychologists of the Chernivtsi branch conducted outreach psychosocial events at the Chernivtsi Oblast’s Center for the Social and Psychological Assistance. In January, the team fulfilled the biggest dream of the children living in the center — they gave the opportunity to paint on the walls! Children and teenagers participated in painting the walls in the playroom of the facility. Fairy-tale houses, cats, birds, flowers and palms — all this now decorates the walls of the Social and Psychological Assistance Center, where children with internally displaced person (IDP) status are living.
In January, the Ivano-Frankivsk branch launched a psychological group in the framework of "Children and War" — program for teenagers. A team of psychologists taught participants how to overcome the anxiety and develop self-soothing and concentration skills. Also, the team of the branch conducted a massive psychosocial event — "Art Marathon". Which was joined by 20 teenagers, 16 of whom visited the branch for the first time. Games, art therapy sessions with psychologists, workshops and gifts were waiting for the children.
