So far, 7,946 community residents have sought support.

Expanding the capacity for assistance:

Why is this important?
The war has brought not only physical destruction but also deep emotional and psychological trauma. Many people are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, and difficulties adapting to new realities.

The Resilience Center was created to ensure that anyone can receive support in difficult times, rediscover their inner strength, and regain a sense of control over their life.
