Unbreakable Mom

In June 2022, the "Masha Fund" together with the Association of Jewish Organizations and Communities of Ukraine VAAD launched the "Unbreakable Mom" project. This is a program to stabilize the emotional state of women and children affected by war, specially developed by professionals in the field of psychotherapy and post-traumatic syndromes. For three weeks, race participants undergo intensive work with psychologists in the Carpathians. After that, up to three months of psychological support and online tutoring await those who will continue to need therapy.

Every day, the Masha Fund receives hundreds of applications from women who need help. Almost 60% of women were under occupation, the rest survived the blockade or were in terrible conditions in hot spots of Ukraine. 25% witnessed violence. Half of all women who apply for the project have nowhere to return - their housing is damaged or destroyed. There are girls who became victims of war crimes, physical and sexual violence, torture, and mutilation, and who suffered terrible trauma. Women and children who lost their family members, children who witnessed murders and torture. Children with psychological disorders caused by war.

The program of the wards of the project is scheduled by the hour for each day. It includes group and individual classes with psychotherapists, art therapy, and physical therapy. More than 80 psychologists are involved in the program. In 2022, the rehabilitation camp of the project received more than 1,000 women and children. The plans for 2023 are to double the number of participants in the program.
