REHABILITATION FAMILY CAMPS

OUR CAMPS

RECOVERY 1day

One-day camps - at a recreation center near Lviv or outings in the Carpathians.

RECOVERY Family 6

6 days (children with mothers or only children, 10+) take place in the recreation complex within the city.

Our participants are children and mothers who live in the territories where hostilities have been or are currently being waged. As well as IDPs with difficult family circumstances.

During the camp, children and mothers have the opportunity to distract themselves from the difficult reality and fully immerse themselves in the process of psycho-emotional rehabilitation.

CARE OF FAMILIES AFTER CAMP

One of the most important tasks in the camps is to identify children and mothers who are in dire need of receiving further psychological help.

  • Psychologists who conduct group and individual sessions with mothers form a list of those mothers who, in their opinion, urgently need further psychological help
Project participants Recovery Camp, in which the need for further work with psychologists has been identified, are directed to psychologists and psychotherapists of another project of our foundation - Ucare.me. There they continue to receive free psychological help.
