Valery received a life-threatening head injury in the Lysychansk direction. But he survived, although for some time he was in complete immobility.
On a warm Friday afternoon, our partners and friends, the "Oriental Star" Foundation, International "Renaissance" Foundation, "Next Step Ukraine", "Revived Soldiers Ukraine" and we, the “Pislya Sluzhby” (After Service) Fund, gathered our veterans and their families for a "Veteran's Picnic" in X- the park.
The adoption of the law on social partnerships will be (and we hope it happens soon) a step towards equality and tolerance for the LGBTIQ+ military. This corresponds to modern standards of human rights and Ukraine's obligations to the international community.
Who: Olena Katerynych - crisis psychologist, art therapist, trauma educator, certified trainer. For whom: veterans, active military, partners and members of military families. Where: the venue will be sent to registered participants.
Legal aspects of military service sometimes require attention and regulation. The "Pislya Sluzhby" (After Service) Foundation and its partners also work in the legal field. Eduard is an active military man who has served since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. He participated in the battles for Irpin - as part of the Irpin TRO. Then he signed a contract with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
When: every Monday, at 17.00. Having a partner is optional! Only the mood and desire to have a good time among their own.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD for short) does not occur in everyone who has experienced a traumatic event (war, disasters, terrorist attacks, anti-social acts) or witnessed it. Approximately 20% of the population is prone to PTSD symptoms.
60% want to change their profession. How veterans look for work and what fields they choose. Currently, 1.2 million veterans are registered in Ukraine, and after the war's end, including their family members, this number will increase to 5-6 million people. Due to physical injuries and psychological conditions, some veterans cannot work in their previous specialty. RBC-Ukraine asked Oleksandr Vitsan, case manager of the "Pislya Sluzhby" (After Service) Fund, about where ex-servicemen go to work.
Since 2010, Andriy has served in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Border Guard Service, and the Internal Affairs agencies. He fought in the Bakhmut direction. He received the Silver Cross award from Valeriy Zaluzhny for successful planning and implementation of tasks while leading personnel in combat.
Art therapy is a recognized method of improving the mental state. Especially for those who have a traumatic experience and unprocessed emotions.
From June 10 to 13th with the support of the International Renaissance Foundation we once again gathered lecturers to conduct the training "Organization of Veteran Support Programs to Ukrainian Military Brigades".
As Yoko Ono said, any piece of art brings harmony to the world. Here at "Pislya Sluzhby" (After Service) we also create art. Over the weekend, a master class on drawing pictures with angels, led by the artist Iryna Lyubimova, was held at the fund's office.
