In April psychologist Manana Gotsiridze worked with three families - 7 people from Ukraine. She identified their condition and began a free course of psychotherapy.
Everyone needs help because they have gone through lots of difficulties.
Olena, 41 and her family arrived from Mariupol last August. They were in hell for a whole month, their neighbors were dying every day. They had fear and hopelessness. It was a terrifying sight: burned houses, burned animals, destroyed streets... They moved to another city in Ukraine, but there was no peace, no food also... They decided to leave and chose Georgia: familiar, warm, close. According to Olena, it is very good that the Women Fund "Sukhumi" helps with products, but the advice and support of a psychologist is no less important. It makes problem solution easier...
