An updated Mental Health Centre has opened in Dnipro, based at the Regional Family Health Medical Centre. The facility provides psychosocial and psychiatric care to children, adolescents and adults, combining face-to-face consultations, online formats and outreach support at the patients’ place of residence. Every month, about 500 people receive assistance here.
The Mental Health Centre began to actively operate in the first months of the full-scale invasion, when the facility organised psychological and psychiatric support for medical workers and their families. The renovation of the space was a logical continuation of this work and a response to the growing demand for professional mental health care.
The renovated centre has been designed as a barrier-free and comfortable space. Conditions have been created here for individual and group work, multidisciplinary team activities, group psychotherapy and crisis interventions. Patients are assisted by four child psychiatrists, two psychotherapists, and a clinical psychologist, who provide a comprehensive approach — from initial assessment and diagnosis to psychotherapeutic and psychosocial support and medication, if necessary.
A separate area of work is the mobile team, which provides assistance to more than 50 children every month directly at their place of residence. The centre also regularly conducts group psychotherapy, which complements individual work and promotes the development of self-regulation skills and the restoration of a sense of psychological support.
An important part of the centre’s activities remains preventive examinations for the early detection of risk conditions, as well as educational training for medical workers, in particular on the prevention of professional burnout, ethics and effective communication with patients.
