For people living in formerly occupied areas of Ukraine, “there is a lot of anxiety now, anxiety within,” says Oksana Lapinska, a psychologist who works in one of 11 mobile medical units supported by FHI 360.
The World Health Organization expects that nearly 10 million people in Ukraine may have some type of mental health condition — and conflict can hinder the ability of health care systems to offer services.
That’s why FHI 360 is providing mental health and psychosocial support services to conflict-affected communities in southern and eastern Ukraine. We support psychologists and other health care providers who travel to over 150 villages and offer both mental and physical health care.
“We cannot predict when the war will end, when these explosions will stop, these planes and so on, but now, despite it all, we are still alive. We can do something.”
