The nationwide RETURN project aims to support the mental health of military personnel, veterans, and their families who have suffered psychological trauma as a result of Russian aggression in Ukraine. It aims to provide not only access to professional mental health care, but also systemic support for those who have survived the most difficult moments of the war.
▪️ System assistance throughout the country
The first stage of the RETURN project involves the opening of 25 mental health centers in all regions of Ukraine. The centers will operate on the basis of state medical institutions and will provide free outpatient services. The first center is planned to open in Dnipro in early 2025.
▪️ Training for professionals
A key component of the RETURN project will be the training of medical professionals to world standards, ensuring quality support and recovery for those who have survived the horrors of war. This is another important step towards the mental recovery of our nation.
The RETURN mental health project will become another key area of support for military personnel, veterans, and their families. In early 2023, Victor and Olena Pinchuk launched a national network of rehabilitation centers for wounded military personnel, RECOVERY. During this time, 15 innovative and barrier-free centers have been opened, providing high-quality and free services to over 20,000 wounded military personnel. Within the framework of the RECOVERY educational program, over 3,000 medical professionals have undergone training and experience exchange programs, including in the USA, Austria, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Switzerland, and Norway.
