Meetings of the Rescue Center team with psychology students
From October to December, informational meetings were held between psychology students and stakeholders of the Department of Psychology of the Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University – the team of the Center for Assistance to Rescued People of the City of Zaporizhzhia.
The centers for assistance to survivors were created to respond to the challenges of war. They provide socio-psychological assistance to Ukrainians affected by the war. Assistance at the centers can be received by internally displaced persons, people who have left the combat zone or occupied territories, local residents, people who have been captured and their families, as well as anyone who needs help in our difficult times.
The coordinator of the Central Development Center, a permanent partner and honorary graduate of the Department of Psychology, psychologist and psychotherapist Kateryna Rakytyanska, told the participants of the meetings about the activities of the Central Development Center in Ukraine and in front-line Zaporizhzhia.
She reported that the Center can be contacted with any questions that arise in connection with the war. Qualified specialists will provide the necessary socio-psychological, legal or informational support comprehensively and in one place.
Assistance at the Centers is provided: free of charge, confidentially, unconditionally (recipients of assistance at the Centers do not have to provide evidence that they have suffered from war or violence in order to receive support).
The meetings were attended by all specialists of the Zaporizhzhia Central Development Center – social workers-case managers, psychologists, a lawyer and an administrator, who spoke about the features of their activities, the range of services they provide, and answered students’ questions. Among them: consultations on orientation in a life situation (with subsequent social support); training in life skills (budget planning, everyday life, finding housing, self-service, assistance in writing a resume); assistance in obtaining additional services (medical, legal, psychological) by referring to relevant services; legal consultations on various issues; psychological consultations and trainings.
