ABOUT PROGRAM

Under this program, psychologists provide vital assistance to the mental wellness of traumatized civilian people, especially Ukrainian children. 

The Smuha Family Resilience Project is one of the core projects under mental wellness initiatives. The word Smuha in Ukrainian language, means path, lane, or line. We focus on creating the path from the most difficult conditions to strong mental wellness and future development. Smuha has multiple components to address the needs of children and those who care for them. 

“It is vital to the health of Ukraine’s children and young people that they are not overlooked during this challenging time. We are proud to be at the forefront of efforts to care for the people who represent such a crucial piece of our nation’s future.” Maryna Baydyuk, President, UHU.
