Creating a supportive environment for children and youth as they live through and recover from the experience of war—by strengthening professional communities—is one of the Foundation's key missions. Partnering with such a powerful institution as the Kyiv School of Economics will enable us to build a national network of specialists providing psychological assistance to children and parents and promote a well-informed and self-reliant younger generation regarding mental health. It is also vital that the voices of Ukrainian professionals are heard loudly on international platforms. I believe this partnership will amplify that as well,
The memorandum marks an essential step in developing expert support for children and young people navigating difficult life circumstances. The joint initiatives of KSE and Voices of Children will help promote awareness of the importance of mental health—both in Ukraine and internationally.
Valeriia Palii, Academic Director of the KSE Bachelor's Program in Psychology, commented on the signing of the memorandum.
