Through a Mother’s Eyes: Olena

This family participated in a 6-day Recovery Camp designed to help children who face mental health challenges as a result of the war. The program provides children and their mothers with psycho-emotional rehabilitation by mental health professionals and recreational counselors. Children are engaged in play therapy, art therapy, music, games, and yoga. Over 1/3 of children who attend these camps are identified as having symptoms of PTSD and are referred to psychologists for follow-up services.

“Our family is deeply grateful for the opportunity to experience such unique moments. Words cannot fully express the emotions we felt, thanks to each and every one of you. We miss you dearly and cherish every memory of our time at the camp. You are truly incredible!” -Olena, Donetsk, Ukraine
