Resilience centers are helping elderly residents of Donetsk overcome the hardships of wartime

Published 03 July 2026 year, 11:19

The Ministry of Social Policy, Family, and Unity of Ukraine is continuing to implement a project as part of the All-Ukrainian Mental Health Program “How Are You?” launched at the initiative of First Lady Olena Zelenska.

This project involves establishing Resilience Centers in communities, where anyone can receive psychosocial support free of charge.

The Pokrovska, Mangushska, Mykilska, and Sartanska territorial communities have joined a pilot project to introduce comprehensive social services aimed at building resilience, in accordance with Resolution No. 1049 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated October 3, 2023 No. 1049, and continue to provide this service in accordance with Resolution No. 1505 of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated November 19, 2025. At the same time, the communities are collaborating with charitable and civic organizations to provide social services within the region and beyond.

Communities in the Donetsk region have established four resilience centers that provide evacuated residents of the Donetsk region with comprehensive social services aimed at building resilience outside the region—in the cities of Kyiv, Lviv, and Dnipro.

This year, 263 joint evening gatherings and meetings were held at resilience centers for older adults to share experiences, with 801 older adults participating.

These gatherings help our senior citizens overcome the challenges of wartime, integrate into their host communities, and maintain ties with the Donetsk region.

Our Resilience Centers are friendly, accessible spaces where any community member can seek support from a psychologist or consult with a social worker.

We invite all Donetsk residents to visit their nearest Resilience Center and receive comprehensive social services designed to build resilience.
