How It Works

One of the tasks of the Project is to simplify as much as possible the path to receiving free psychological assistance for children and teenagers who have witnessed the war in Ukraine

  1. Registration on the platform and completion of the questionnaire
  2. Within 24 hours, the project moderator selects and assigns a child psychologist for the initial consultation
  3. Parents (guardians) of a child under 14 years old give consent for the psychologist/psychotherapist to work with their child
  4. The child or teenager is assigned a course of up to 12 sessions with a psychologist
  5. Three months of work with a psychologist and attendance at weekly family psycho-emotional recovery camps Recovery Camp
  6. Final assessment of the family's health, completion of therapy, and transition to independent support of their condition thanks to the EQ emotional intelligence development app
