The Protection project (Services for the protection and psychosocial support of vulnerable categories of Ukrainian children, youth and adults) is aimed at providing psychosocial support, protection and security for vulnerable individuals.
To implement the project, we have created psychosocial support centers for children and adults in 8 cities of Ukraine (Vinnytsia, Kharkiv, Pavlohrad, Konotop, Lutsk, Kamianets-Podilskyi, Odesa, Cherkasy), which also operate children's spaces, where professional teachers, speech therapists and psychologists work with children. Also, 6 centers provide case management services aimed at supporting vulnerable segments of the population.
Project areas of activity
Child Friendly Spaces (CFS)
Number of spaces: 8
Children's spaces are child friendly centers where they develop, learn, receive emotional and psychological relief, make new friends, have fun, and gain new knowledge and skills under the guidance of professional educators.
Psychosocial Support MH PSS
Number of beneficiaries: 2240
Psychosocial support: providing adults and children with the necessary psychological support, helping parents and caregivers in raising children, and in the future - in raising a psychologically healthy and adapted nation.
Case Management
Number of beneficiaries: 792
Case management is designed to help vulnerable groups, including displaced persons, maintain decent living conditions, and provide them with the opportunity to find support and feel supported in difficult life situations.
Mobile visits
Number of locations: 24 villages
The essence of mobile visits of our children's safe spaces is that specialists (educators, social workers, speech therapists, psychologists) from our centers, in cooperation with local communities, travel to rural areas and work with children where parents do not have such an opportunity to ensure the full development of their children.
