Psychosocial Support for Children and Families in Communities of Dnipropetrovsk Region
In 2025, Dnipropetrovsk Region remained one of the key regions hosting internally displaced persons. The constant flow of people, diverse experiences of loss and adaptation, and overburdened communities all contributed to a high demand for systematic psychosocial support.
In partnership with UNICEF Ukraine, the NGO “Responsible Citizens” structured its work to ensure that assistance reached both local residents and people who had recently become IDPs. Child-Friendly Spaces functioned as environments for recovery, with a focus on emotional stability, socialization, and restoring a sense of normalcy.
“Mobile teams complemented this work by providing support in areas where access to stationary services was limited or where communities were rapidly changing. The approach remained comprehensive: psychological support, work with parents, and assistance for children of different ages, taking into account their displacement experience,” comments Alla Maslakhova, Project Coordinator in Dnipropetrovsk Region.
The activities were carried out within the framework of the UNICEF project in Ukraine “Strengthening Community Capacity to Deliver Essential Protection and Resilience Services in Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia Regions,” implemented by the NGO “Responsible Citizens” with the support of the Government of the United States of America.
