Methodological manual for practitioners: how to provide support to women and girls who have experienced the loss of a loved one

now available online on our website

This manual was created on the basis of the implementation of a large-scale program in which 600 women and girls who lost loved ones due to the war from three regions of Ukraine took part.

All participants received psychological assistance:

individual consultations,

support groups,

rehabilitation camps.

The experience of our specialists who conducted these events, supplemented by the work of well-known experts in working with loss, formed the basis of the manual.

The manual contains practices and tools that help:

- work with grief and anxiety;

- restore emotional stability and resources;

- maintain family ties after loss;

- be close to a teenage daughter at her difficult age;

- apply art therapy and adaptation techniques.

The manual will be useful for mental health professionals working with bereaved families, including women and adolescent girls; in group or individual work; in social service centers; in mobile support programs; in the format of accompaniment during initial response, etc.
