Psychosocial recovery for military personnel is critically important for preserving mental health, preventing post-traumatic disorders, maintaining operational readiness, and supporting successful reintegration into civilian life after combat experience.

The Mission of the Resilience Center

The war has caused not only physical losses but also deep psychological trauma, manifested in anxiety, stress, depression, and difficulties adapting to a new reality.

The Resilience Center was established to provide professional support to everyone in need, help restore inner strength, and return a sense of control over one’s life during the most challenging times.
