Ukrainian employers are losing talent that is difficult and expensive to replace
Education programs, employers, and employment agencies lack the expertise to recruit, retain, and help translate the sought-after skills of Ukrainian veterans(loyalty, reliability, integrity, communication skills, and self-discipline)
Ukrainian veteran suicide was a problem before 2022 and remains a growing problem
Ukrainian mental health professionals lack the tools and training to deal with the scale of the issues veterans face today:
- financial problems
- unemployment
- lack of adequate housing
- substance abuse
- failure to reintegrate into civilian society
- moral injury
- untreated emotional distress
- physical injuries
- lack of community
- pre-existing mental health vulnerabilities
Research also shows that those who served in the military for less than three years are at greatest risk for suicide
