Psychosocial support of volunteers

Volunteers now especially need psychosocial support. It is important to remember that while helping others, it is also important to take care of your own mental health.

Informal volunteer meetings are interesting for our PSP volunteers. Each team of volunteers chooses exactly how informal volunteer meetings will be held, where they will relieve tension and support each other and generally have a fun and active time.

For example, the team of volunteers of the Bilotserkivska Mo TChHU PSP always choose active informal meetings for themselves. In January, PSP volunteers from the city of Bila Tserkva, village Hrebinky and Fursy hosted an event with elements of active games in the VIRTUAL REALITY CLUB.

PSP volunteers from Vyshhorod visited the YOUTH THEATER and watched the play "Liars Needed!". The team of volunteers from Bucha also chose an event with active games for themselves and visited the BOWLING CLUB - BROOKLYN, where they enjoyed playing bowling and regaining strength, because working constantly in difficult stressful conditions, people can feel exhausted. Many PSP volunteers choose quiet events with elements of creativity, at events with music, volunteers paint shoppers or paint pictures by numbers.

Informal meetings of the PSP help volunteers to improve their psycho-emotional state and contribute to team cohesion.
