At the end of February, a psychological support group called "Motherhood with the Letter A" for mothers of children with autism started in the Kyiv center. Being a mother of a child with autism in our country remains challenging, the well-being and development of children with ASD heavily rely on the psycho-emotional state of their parents, especially mothers.
In Kryvyi Rih, both "Voices of Children" centers continued their impactful work. Our teams conducted sessions under the "Safe Space" program for children, "Upgrade Time" for teenagers, and "Safe Space" for parents. One of the teams in February made 11 mobile team visits to the Hleiuvata and Zhovti Vody communities.

Thank you all very much! Now I understand that it's like a breath of fresh air for me! I suffer from chronic depression, and I'm afraid my children might suffer because of it.
Today, after talking to the psychologist, I reconsidered many things.
Indeed, your foundation is much needed in these challenging times, and is interested in helping people in difficult situations.
The children are thrilled with the leisure organizer Olya, and the case manager Veronika is so attentive! I am very surprised that all of this is free,
feedback from one of the beneficiaries who received psychological support from our psychologists at the Kharkiv center.
In Lviv, psychological groups "Safe Space" for children and "CAMP+" for military spouses kicked off in February. Women are already giving positive feedback, mentioning that they are applying the stabilization techniques learned during the sessions and finding resources to support their husbands on the front lines.
