Psychological rehabilitation and PTSD assistance

Project Goal: Establishing PTSD rehabilitation centers in Ukraine

Why is psychological rehabilitation important for those affected by war?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a significant mental health challenge for individuals who have experienced war. Psychological rehabilitation is essential for restoring their emotional and social well-being. Imagine how many people in Ukraine face the aftermath of traumatic events each day—events that have upended their lives. Our project aims to help restore mental health and renew a person’s belief in their own strength.

How does the program work?
The goal of the “Psychological Rehabilitation and Overcoming PTSD” charitable program is to establish rehabilitation centers across Ukraine that will help veterans and civilians cope with the effects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The program includes the development of a mobile app for initial diagnostics, as well as an offline center for more in-depth therapy.
Who will receive assistance?
The program is designed for war veterans and civilians affected by the war. Anyone who has experienced psychological trauma can receive the necessary support through our program.

Mobile App development

The mobile app will serve as the first step in diagnosing PTSD. By incorporating internationally recognized tests, such as the PCL-5 and the Davidson Trauma Scale, each user can independently undergo testing, receive preliminary results, and obtain recommendations. The app creation process is expected to take up to six months.

Establishing a rehabilitation center

A psychological rehabilitation center will provide professional assistance to both veterans and civilians. Specialists at the center will use CAPS-5—the gold standard for diagnosing PTSD—along with other methods to develop individualized treatment plans. Such a center can be set up within twelve months.

Collaboration with international partners

The project receives active support from the Lithuanian charity fund “Helping War Victims,” which assists those affected by war. Additionally, the project team is working to secure international grants from the European Union and the United States to ensure long-term financial backing and continued development of the initiative.

What is PTSD?

Чому лікування ПТСР є важливим?

Без належного лікування, ПТСР може призвести до серйозних соціальних та психічних проблем, зокрема самогубств. Ветерани війни, які стикаються з цим розладом, часто не можуть повернутися до нормального життя. Лікування ПТСР дає їм шанс на нове майбутнє.

We anticipate that during the first year of the project, approximately 5,000 people will complete the initial testing through the mobile app, and over 1,000 veterans and civilians will undergo in-depth therapy at the rehabilitation center. Securing international grants will enable us to expand the project and assist even more individuals.
