Serving Military and Veterans
Over 700,000 Ukrainians have frontline experience. Many live with trauma, grief, or captivity, but only a fraction have access to proper mental health support.
Children of Parents Involved in War
Children suffer silently when their parents return with trauma. Many feel responsible for their parents’ pain and risk long-term emotional struggles if left unsupported.
Samopomich Online Counseling
Ukraine’s first large-scale online counseling platform offers free trauma-focused support, self-screening tools, and culturally sensitive therapy in Ukrainian.
Impact Since 2022

Vilnius Crisis Center
Established in 2022, this center provides free trauma-informed counseling for Ukrainian refugees and wounded soldiers rehabilitating in Lithuania.
Extreme Stress Resilience Program
Practical guides, apps, and children’s books help soldiers, families, and frontline workers manage trauma before it becomes chronic illness.
Training and Research in Kyiv
Founded with Taras Shevchenko University and King’s College London, this center develops Ukraine-specific methods for treating veteran trauma.
Support for Families Too
The program includes family therapy, community reintegration, and e-learning to expand access nationwide.
Human Rights Defenders and First Responders
Journalists, aid workers, and defenders face burnout and trauma from constant exposure to violence, yet often neglect their own wellbeing.
Refugees Displaced by War
Millions forced to flee carry trauma into new countries, struggling with language barriers, isolation, and constant fear for families left behind.
Prisoners with War-Linked Trauma
Ukraine’s prison health system remains outdated. Veterans and civilians whose trauma leads to conflict risk a cycle of illness and re-incarceration.
Mental Health Professionals Under Pressure
Care providers face overwhelming caseloads and personal grief, often with too little support to sustain their own wellbeing.
Training for Mental Health Workers
FGIP trains Ukrainian therapists and even artists to deliver trauma-focused therapy, ensuring sustainable care across the country.
Palliative Care for Wounded Soldiers
For lethally wounded veterans, FGIP works with partners to build centers that provide dignity, comfort, and family support in the final stage of life.
Prison Mental Health Recovery
FGIP develops specialized prison wards, staff training, and legal protections so traumatized inmates can recover and reintegrate instead of reoffending.
