The importance of such support was highlighted by the Minister of Social Policy, Family and Unity, Denys Ulyutin, during a veterans’ forum in the Kyiv region. According to him, Resilience Centres were created as a space where military personnel, veterans and their loved ones can receive psychosocial assistance and maintain a sense of family despite the challenges of war.
There are currently 326 such centres operating in Ukraine. The Ministry of Social Policy plans to train another 600 specialists to expand access to services and make support more systematic.
