Vadym Stolar: "Recover" embodies a comprehensive approach to psycho-emotional support of people
“The “Recover" is one of our largest projects aimed at supporting families who lost one of their parents or their home due to the war. It requires a lot of strength and resources and I am grateful to the team that implements it, creating an atmosphere of warmth and care for the participants”, says Vadym Stolar. “We all understand the importance of supporting those who have suffered heavy losses. So, we do everything we can to restore people's mental strength and help them to survive the pain of loss. The peace of mind of each person is the key to the health of the entire nation, so we will continue to implement the "Recover" to help as many Ukrainians as possible!"
As the patron emphasizes, an important feature of the project is its complexity, because the participants simultaneously immerse themselves in an atmosphere of comfort and safety in the best hotels in picturesque and safe corners of Ukraine. And at the same time, they receive qualified assistance from profile specialists. Thus, the effectiveness of the program to achieve its goals is significantly increased.
Vadym Stolar's team told the details of the 5th stage passing of the "Recover".
A volunteer of the Foundation Nataliia Prykhodko told that the first stage of the "Recover" took place in August 2022, and the project reached almost 1,000 people in a year.
"I personally came to see how the rehabilitation program is implemented in the new place, because we have not been to Truskavets yet. I talked to participants and received very emotional feedback, people felt a lot of relief during a week of staying in this picturesque place, communicating with art therapists and psychologists" she said.
According to the volunteer, it is very important to Vadym Stolar's team, because the participants of the "Recover" are families who lost their homes because of the war. And the most painful thing, participants are those who lost their father or mother.
"It is very difficult for these people, so we strive to create all conditions to give them solace, possibility to restore their mental balance and to find strength to live on. And I am sincerely grateful to these wonderful people who come to our project with the goal to get motivation to live in Ukraine, to work for the good of the motherland, to raise real patriots and future of the nation!" Nataliia Prykhodko said.
Vadym Stolar: We implement a number psycho-emotional recovery projects of Ukrainians, and plan new ones.
