    The establishment of Resilience Centres is one of the key initiatives to help those in need. This was emphasised by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

    During the Government's meeting on 23 January, the Procedure for the organisation and functioning of such Resilience Centres was approved.

    "We are establishing the criteria of accessibility, inclusiveness, and barrier-free access for these institutions. As well as security - each centre must be equipped with its shelter," the Prime Minister stressed.

    According to him, the centres provide social services, counselling as well as social and psychological assistance. This is part of the All-Ukrainian Mental Health Programme initiated by the First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska.

    According to Denys Shmyhal, the state provides funding for the service, while local authorities provide premises and organise the work of the centres. He stressed that in the future, each community should create such a space. The pilot project is currently being implemented in five regions.
