Circle of Support: Together Towards Recovery and Strength

From December 2025 to February 2026, our Foundation implemented the project “Circle of Support. Overcoming the Psychological Consequences of War for Defenders and Their Families”with the support of the Ukrainian-Swiss project “Mental Health for Ukraine.”

Our goal goes beyond assistance. We created a space where veterans, service members, and their families can:— restore their inner resources— strengthen family connections— return to active community life— feel support and understanding

The project combined psychosocial activities, development of interaction skills, and the creation of a safe, inclusive environment for every participant.

Partnership that strengthens impact.We established and developed cross-sector collaboration with educational, civil society, medical, and business organizations to ensure comprehensive, high-quality, and sustainable support.

Project results:

• over 200 participants — defenders, veterans, and their family members

• 3 partners from the medical and rehabilitation sector•

• 6 partners from the civil society and education sector

Activities conducted:

• 3 psychoeducational sessions

• 3 motivational meetings

• 3 art therapy workshops for defenders’ children

• 3 art therapy workshops for veterans and families

• 6 group psychological counseling sessions

• 1 offsite restorative retreat

Each event included warm communication and an informal atmosphere, where even a cup of coffee became part of the support. We believe: recovery begins with trust, support, and community. Thank you to every participant and partner for your trust and openness.Together, we are creating a space for strength, care, and new beginnings.
