Offline Support Group for Mothers and Children of Fallen Ukrainian Defenders

May 29, 2026Psychological Support

Another support group meeting was held for the mothers and children supported by Soborna Ukraine Foundation.

These gatherings provide a safe space where they are surrounded by people who understand what they've been through, without having to explain it. There is room for conversation, quiet moments, and mutual support. Simply knowing that you are not alone in your grief often becomes one of the most important sources of strength on the path to recovery.

During the meeting, participants had the opportunity to connect with one another, share their personal experiences, receive support from mental health professionals, and spend time in a community where everyone is free to be themselves.

Support groups are an important part of the Soborna Ukraine Foundation's psychological support program. They help participants gradually regain their resilience, strengthen trust in others, and find the strength to move forward at their own pace.

Another offline support group will take place next month, allowing families of fallen defenders to reconnect with their support community and with the people who stand beside them on their journey toward recovery.
