New Mental Health Initiatives in the Chornomorsk Community
The libraries in the Chornomorsk community in Odesa have launched new spaces dedicated to mental health support.
These areas are designed for both adults and children, recognizing that children are the most vulnerable group in society, requiring special attention and care.
⠀
During the opening, children received gifts from the Odesa Regional State Administration and Anna Velychko, the regional coordinator of the mental health program "How are you?"
⠀
These small yet significant initiatives contribute to emotional recovery and foster a sense of safety and support. May these corners become places of strength, trust, and tranquility for all community members.
⠀
We extend our gratitude to Anna Baron, the chief specialist of the Department of Education, Culture, Tourism, and Youth of the Chornomorsk community, librarians Maria Dziubenko and Nina Chekmak, as well as the rural club team — Victoria Shlyakhta and Veronika Filonchik.
⠀
The implementation of the mental health program "How are you?" initiated by Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska is supported by the WHO.
