As part of the “Children and War: Teaching Recovery Techniques” programme, project trainers conducted two online psychological support groups for applicants to Bukovinian State Medical University.

The participants were young people who had experienced displacement or whose parents are serving on the front line. For these participants, the circumstances of war directly affect their emotional well-being and everyday lives, adding psychological pressure to an already important period of preparation and admission to higher education.

During the groups, participants learned techniques aimed at coping with the effects of war-related stress, regulating emotional tension, and restoring internal resources.

The online format made psychological support accessible regardless of the participants’ location.

These groups are part of the project’s ongoing efforts to expand access to psychological support for children and young people affected by the war.

The “Children and War: Teaching Recovery Techniques” programme helps participants develop practical skills that can be used for self-help and coping with stress in everyday life.

The “Lisova Pisnia” children’s camp has completed a series of sessions based on the “Children and War: Learning Healing Techniques” program.

Over the course of two weeks, the children had the opportunity to talk about their experiences in a safe and supportive environment, better understand their emotions, and learn how to cope with stress and anxiety.

An important part of the program was learning practical self-regulation and recovery techniques that children can use not only during the sessions but also in their everyday lives — whenever they experience tension, fear, anxiety, or emotional overload.

We are grateful for the opportunity to be there for the children during this time and to help them take another step toward emotional recovery and psychological resilience.

“Children and War: Learning Healing Techniques” is about more than just the sessions. It is about skills that stay with children and can support them during difficult moments.
