Students and Faculty of the Faculty of Pedagogy, Psychology and Social Work Visited the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Veterans’ Support Center "Veteran PRO".
Nataliia Mamalyha, a veteran and demobilized persons support specialist (and a second-year Master's student in the Psychology program at Kherson State University), informed attendees about the assistance provided to veterans and their families in navigating available services, social guarantees, document processing procedures, and opportunities for receiving support.
A particularly engaging part of the visit was a therapeutic exercise conducted by the center’s psychologist, in which all participants actively took part.
Following the informative tour of the facility, participants became convinced that "Veteran PRO" is a space where everyone is heard, supported, and helped to find the solutions they need.
A significant and valuable outcome of the introductory visit was the agreement on cooperation between the university and Veteran PRO regarding the organization and joint implementation of future events. University students also expressed their interest in completing all types of practical training on-site at the center. It was agreed that the relevant cooperation agreements would be signed in the near future, as such practice provides invaluable experience in developing practical skills for working with individuals affected by war.
