Projects

Medical:

Our main goal is to provide affordable and high-quality medical care for veterans. We search for and select centres and medical institutions that specialise in physical and psychological rehabilitation and treatment of military personnel and veterans. In addition, we support the families of veterans and servicemen and women and pay for professional medical support to relieve the burden of relatives who care for the military around the clock.

We also engage partners and people who are willing to help military personnel and veterans directly, including humanitarian aid, the purchase of medicines, auxiliary medical equipment and vehicles, payment for medical services, etc.

Psychological:

The «Pislya Sluzhby» (After Service) Foundation is looking for the best specialists in psychology and psychiatry to work with the psychological trauma of our veterans and their family members. Our goal is to successfully reintegrate veterans into civilian life through psychological rehabilitation, which allows them to master their emotions and work with trauma, stress and PTSD. We also conduct lectures, trainings and workshops for veterans and their families, where we discuss important topics such as environmental communication, effective methods of dealing with stress, how to properly support relatives who have returned from war, etc.

Education and employment:

We are committed to the successful career reintegration of veterans and servicemen and women after service. Our focus is primarily on support and advice in the areas of retraining, education and employment. We achieve this through individual selection of the best commercial and state educational programmes for learning a new profession or improving existing skills. In addition, we offer free educational and training resources to facilitate veterans' smooth transition to civilian life. We actively cooperate with businesses to employ veterans.

We also provide training for Ukrainian employers and caregivers to improve strategies to reduce veteran turnover, increase veteran recruitment and navigation of civilian employment structures, and improve veterans' self-identification in civilian roles.

Legal aid:

We believe that veterans should have access to high-quality legal services. Our activities are aimed at resolving veterans' legal issues related to military service, earned benefits and more. We also provide access to the best legal experts who provide advice and legal representation for veterans.

Our case managers advise military personnel and veterans who apply to the Foundation on the following issues:

• Appealing against actions or omissions of military units, military medical commissions or authorities
• Registration or recalculation of retirement benefits, allowances, one-time compensation for injuries and other social benefits and assistance
• Granting leave and dismissal from military service

If necessary, we hire lawyers to handle complex cases.

Veterans community

At the «Pislya Sluzhby» (After Service) Foundation, we develop initiatives and activities that help veterans and strengthen their family and friendships. In cooperation with our partners, we organise events and implement projects aimed at supporting veterans. Our programmes provide social, psychological and professional adaptation, creating conditions for their successful integration and development of harmonious communication in society.

Housing

"Pislya Sluzhby" (After Service) organizes accommodation in hotel rooms for veterans, servicemen/servicewomen who are constantly on the move and away from home. The services include short-term stay with the opportunity to take a shower or spend the night while waiting.

Organisation of the Patronage Service

The «Pislya Sluzhby» (After Service) Foundation has set up patronage services in two units of 32nd Separate Mechanized Brigade and 5th Separate Assault Brigade. Our case managers work on the hotline and provide support to the servicemen of these units and their families on legal, medical and psychological issues. Nevertheless, an important part of our activities is the organisation of trainings for servicemen who later set up patronage services in their units.
