Spaces, mobile teams, support: daily help for families in Kharkiv Region
Despite the daily challenges of war, a dedicated team of professionals in Kharkiv region continues to deliver essential social services to children and families. This work is part of the UNICEF Ukraine project “Strengthening community capacity to provide essential protection and resilience services in Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions,” implemented by the NGO “Responsible Citizens.”
The region hosts:
11 child-friendly spaces — safe environments where children and parents play, learn, and recover.
7 mobile psychosocial support teams — reaching families in remote areas with limited access to services.
“We provide systematic support — consultations, individual assistance, and psychosocial help for families, even during emergencies like shelling or air raid alerts. Psychologists, speech therapists, and art therapists work in the spaces. Our staff constantly undergo training to ensure that services are high-quality, safe, and child-focused,” – says Olena Khvatynets, regional project coordinator in Kharkiv.
