Psychological support group for women “Stay Strong, Sisters”

The VETERANKA movement, together with partners, invites women affected by the russia-Ukraine war to receive psychological support.

Who can participate?

Female veterans, volunteers, refugees in Ukraine and abroad, relatives of military personnel, and mothers with young children – in other words, Ukrainian women who most desperately need strength and support during these challenging times.

Author columns from military psychologists.

Friends! We consistently emphasize the importance of taking care of our physical and emotional well-being, especially in the current war conditions affecting all Ukrainians – both on the home front and the front lines. Therefore, we have started a series of original materials on psychology for the militaries and their loved ones, aiming to better understand and provide necessary support to each other. Exclusively for VETERANKA, military psychologists discuss the most relevant issues regarding psychological well-being in wartime.
