HOPE: Mental Health & Rehabilitation
The ongoing war in Ukraine is having profound impacts on both the local and global economy, as well as the infrastructure and overall well-being of the people. The prolonged duration of the conflict, coupled with its many related consequences such as total uncertainty, unfavorable economic conditions, and a distressing media backdrop, have a lasting impact on the mental health of the population. Ukrainians have been exposed to a range of traumatic events, such as witnessing or experiencing war traumas, and the death of loved ones, leading to high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. The ongoing war in Ukraine has exposed weaknesses in the national mental health care system and underscored the importance of mental health economics.
We provide and participate in:
Additional training to make diagnosis
Individual and group counseling training
Case management and advocacy
Customization of protocols and methods
Currently, Ukraine’s mental health care system suffers from a lack of financial and human resources, which hinders its ability to provide adequate support to those in need. To address this issue, joint efforts between Ukrainian mental health stakeholders and the international governmental and non-governmental organizations are needed to provide support and capacity building for mental health services in Ukraine.
