Nova Poshta, together with the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU), is launching a rehabilitation program for media workers who worked on the front lines, in frontline communities, or documented the consequences of Russian attacks and war crimes.
Six journalists and war correspondents will undergo a two-week course of physical and psychological rehabilitation in Rivne region.
The program includes medical examinations, rehabilitation procedures, and psychological support.
Among the participants are journalists who were injured, concussed, or experienced severe traumatic events while working.
Among those who will undergo rehabilitation are special correspondent Oleksandr, who miraculously survived a strike by an enemy Lancet drone but lost colleagues, and correspondent Aliona from Sumy Oblast, who daily documents the consequences of shelling and herself lost her home due to Russian attacks. Providing them with comprehensive treatment and psychological support is the least we can do as a sincere thank you for their work.
