Restoring Peace Together
Building Lives Together

Providing veterans with comfortable and affordable housing to address their housing needs after returning from the front.
Rehabilitation infrastructure
Establishing medical, psychological, and social institutions for the physical and psychological rehabilitation of military personnel.

Employment support
Creating opportunities for education, retraining, and employment, fostering successful job placement for veterans.
Ensuring safety and comfort
Organizing security and creating a safe and comfortable environment to promote peaceful living for veterans and their families.
Supporting military families
Providing social and material assistance not only to veterans but also to their families, including through kindergartens, schools, and other public services.
Psychological rehabilitation
Psychotherapy and treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD):
Providing individual and group therapy for military personnel who have experienced psychological trauma. The main focus is on working with emotional experiences, flashbacks, fears and anxiety that manifest themselves after hostilities.
Social Support and Adaptation
After service, military personnel often face difficulties returning to civilian life. Social adjustment includes helping to build relationships with family, friends, and those around you. It is important to assist in the restoration of professional skills and integration into the labor market. Often, military personnel need professional counseling, retraining, or strengthening social ties in order to feel supported by society. The important role of the players is also supported by the community, where they can exchange experiences with those who have had a similar life path.
Dealing with stress and restoring psychological balance
This stage of rehabilitation focuses on restoring the emotional stability of military personnel after participating in hostilities. After prolonged stress and traumatic events, military personnel often face psychological stress, which can manifest itself in manifestations of anxiety, depression, aggression, or emotional vigor. The main methods of restoring psychological balance:
- Relaxation techniques: meditation, breathing exercises, yoga, progressive muscle relaxation. These practices help to reduce stress levels and improve overall well-being.
Why joint leisure activities for Ukrainian veterans and their families in one community are important?
Leisure activities for Ukrainian veterans together with their families in one community hold several key aspects that positively influence the physical, mental, and social well-being of the participants. Here are a few reasons why this is important.
Social Integration
Veterans often face challenges after returning from war due to injuries, stress, and difficulties adapting to civilian life. Organized leisure in a community with other veterans and their families helps restore a sense of belonging and support. This gives veterans the opportunity to make new social connections and receive moral support from those who have experienced similar circumstances.
Family Support
The families of veterans also go through a challenging adaptation period after the war. Joint activities help strengthen family bonds, as veterans and their loved ones can spend more time together, overcoming the challenges of adaptation. This also allows the veterans’ relatives to better understand their experiences and emotional state.
Physical Rehabilitation
Veterans often require physical rehabilitation after injuries or the physical demands of service. Organized leisure can include various activities such as sports, hiking, or yoga, which help improve veterans’ physical condition.
Community Development
Organizing leisure in one town fosters a sense of unity and support within the veteran community. It promotes the exchange of experiences and ideas, helping solve common problems, and find new opportunities for collaboration or even employment.
A New Life Veteran's
Returning home to family and loved ones brings happiness and relief, as the soldier has faced danger and survived. The sense of pride in fulfilling their duty to their homeland and contributing to the defense of the country gives them confidence in a brighter future. Gratitude for the support from family, friends, and society, as well as the opportunity to return to peaceful life, will inspire the veteran towards a bright and happy future. It will drive them to achieve new heights and professions, encouraging their full development in post-military life.
