The Medical Aid Committee in Zakarpattya continues to support socially important initiatives. Thus, in November, the project "Taking Care of Yourself" by the NGO "Creative Volunteers" (Uzhhorod) was launched, which aims to provide psycho-emotional support to adults and is funded by our organization.

"Creative Volunteers" have already started the implementation of the project, forming groups of the target audience (local residents and internally displaced persons) who will be involved in workshops, meetings with psychologists, thematic clubs, etc. The approach to forming groups provides for the possibility of integrating IDPs into communities, exchanging views and experiences, and strengthening sustainable communication ties.

So far, the first meeting has already taken place, where women learned to find time for themselves and their desires. The participants got to know each other and talked, while making and decorating scented candles from natural wax. Further activities include master classes on making souvenir magnets, brooches, rag dolls, painting landscapes, creating a wish map, and meetings with a massage therapist, psychologists and other specialists.

In total, more than 60 people will participate in the activities.
