The People of Ukraine Foundation launched a critical initiative, the “Supporting Combat Veterans of Ukraine” Platform

This platform aims to address the urgent needs of Ukrainian defenders suffering from PTSD and other combat-related challenges. In partnership with U.S. experts, including combat psychologists, this platform provides a comprehensive approach to mental health recovery, rehabilitation, and reintegration for veterans.

 

Our latest and most urgent effort, the “Crisis Response Teams” Training Program, strives to provide immediate intervention for veterans in crisis. This program equips crisis team members and communities to recognize the signs of distress and respond effectively. The goal is to ensure the physical and emotional safety of veterans, stabilize them with immediate support, and connect them to essential services like mental health care, housing, and financial assistance.

 

Your contribution and partnership with this program can help produce critical resources, offer life-changing therapies, and sustain long-term support programs. By supporting this initiative, you would not only be contributing to a cause of vital importance but also making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who have sacrificed for freedom.


People of Ukraine Foundation was established in 2016 to support people of Ukraine during the war, and to promote the unique culture and potential of modern Ukraine.
