Why do these
children need psychological
support?
Losing a loved one is a deeply traumatic and unpredictable experience, especially for a child. Often, children cannot fully comprehend what has happened, which leads to feelings of withdrawal, fear, or even aggression. The war continues, and constant air raids and shelling only intensify these challenges. Tragically, even the adults around them may struggle to offer the necessary support, as they too are coping with their own emotional crises.
How we help
