Oksana Shandruk, Director of Centre, notes: "In times of war, our psyche is the most vulnerable, so everyone needs support, regardless of gender, age, or social status. Our specialists are working on psychosocial support for everyone who is experiencing exhaustion, devastation, fatigue, anxiety and panic. Together we will learn to go through life's trials, preserving and restoring mental health and personal integrity, taking care of ourselves so that we have the strength to work and live. I am convinced that by joining forces, we will survive and win!"
