Dessert, cutlets and… support

Marina prepared a beautiful and sweet Ukrainian dessert - Lviv syrnik and Anya - Kiev cutlets. Marina and Anya are Ukrainian psychologists who work in our organization and together with other women, they participated in the preparation of the Day of Ukrainian Cuisine at the Women Fund " Sukhumi on September 15. They believe that it turned out to be an interesting, pleasant and rehabilitative event.

Psychologists from Ukraine actively worked in September professional direction.

Anya Shalimova says that she met with members of four new families and with one family again. She conducted 12 individual consultations. Both regular clients and new ones were among them. There were also consultations with children and their parents.

 “Ukrainians respond positively to the fact that I am also from Ukraine,” Anya says. - They are interested in what city I am from and how I survived the war. If the Ukrainians are from my hometown, then we are interested in concrete area we lived” (that is why two Ukrainian psychologists were invited to work with Ukrainian refugees).

According to Marina Stepanenko, “in September, the activity of hostilities in Ukraine increased rapidly. The Ukrainian military began to recapture the territories occupied by the Russian authorities. Large amount of disturbing news that directly affects customers are associated with this. Refugees from the occupied and front-line territories are in great tension and stress. In our work, we talk about fear, about worrying about our loved ones, about our homes.”

AThe third psychologist, Manana Gotsiridze, met with Ukrainian families (32 people from 10 families). In Kutaisi and Tskaltubo, she carried out primary psycho-rehabilitation work - counseling, collecting an anamnesis, providing information about our organization and free psychological group / individual consultations and also gave them our humanitarian packages (food, household chemicals and hygiene items, clothes).

Marina Stepanenko said well about the results: “We are working on stabilizing the condition and on finding an opportunity to take care of ourselves. Women note that it is much more difficult to go through all this alone”.

The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
