In Ukraine, cancer patients are facing tough times. They're not just dealing with serious illnesses that need a lot of care but also with the effects of war and, very often, financial troubles. Right now, a lot of people in Ukraine are struggling with their mental health because of these issues.
Mission Kharkiv is focusing on supporting cancer patients in the midst of all these challenges.
This initiative also seeks to address the social barriers preventing individuals from seeking assistance for psychological issues.
Operating within the cities of Kharkiv, Kyiv, Dnipro, and Lviv, the project interventions include a diverse array of activities:
Psychological support for patients constitutes an integral facet of modern, comprehensive oncological care in developed nations. Our mission is to advocate for adopting such an approach within the medical landscape of Ukraine.
At the heart of our strategy is the active participation of family members and close friends of oncology patients at every stage of the treatment journey. We believe in the importance of involving loved ones to provide comprehensive support.
Within the Mental Health program, specialists are dedicated to three core therapeutic modalities: Person-Centered therapy, Gestalt therapy, and Positive psychotherapy.
