Almost 700 Ukrainians have applied for mental support after the last two significant shellings, reported Olena Zelenska, the first lady. It is noted that 50 psychologists from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Emergency Service were involved to help citizens after the shelling, who received appropriate training as part of the All-Ukrainian mental health program.
"These days, specialists worked not only with those who suffered, but also with those who provide help themselves: rescuers, doctors, policemen, representatives of communal services. Because those who face grief every day also really need support," added Zelenska.
