When a parent returns from captivity, the family often needs time, support, and a safe space to regain a sense of closeness, trust, and support for each other.
A 10-day program of psychological recovery and support is planned for such families with children.
Families who:
– one of the parents returned from captivity;
– there are children aged 7 to 17 years inclusive;
– the family feels the need for support, restoration of contact, trust, and interaction after a long separation.
The program aims to help families gradually restore a sense of security, closeness, and mutual support. Special attention will be paid to children - their experiences of waiting, anxiety, family changes, and reestablishing contact with a loved one upon their return.
The estimated period of holding is the second half of August 2026.
Location – Lviv region. Currently, we want to better understand whether there is a need and interest among families in this format of support. If this opportunity sounds like something that your family might be interested in, please complete a short expression of interest form by June 30, 2026:
