Resilience Centers to continue providing psychosocial support: Government has extended the pilot project through 2027

On June 17, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted a resolution extending the operation of Resilience Centers in local communities through November 2027. This decision will allow millions of Ukrainians to continue receiving high-quality psychosocial support.

The main goal of the project is to reduce stress and anxiety among citizens, teach people to cope with the consequences of war, and support the mental health of their loved ones.

“Extending this project is an investment in people and in the entire country’s ability to recover. We must ensure that in every community, people have a space where they can be helped to restore their inner resources and cope with difficult life circumstances,” emphasized Denys Uliutin, Minister of Social Policy, Family, and Unity.

The project also provides for regular professional training and supervision for center staff. This will help maintain high standards for the provision of psychosocial services in communities.

The development of the network of Resilience Centers is an initiative of the Ministry of Social Policy, Family, and Unity of Ukraine. The project is being implemented as part of the All-Ukrainian Mental Health Program “How Are You?” initiated by First Lady Olena Zelenska.
