Psychological support for people living with cancer and healthcare professionals:
We Are Here for You
Cancer patients in Ukraine face more than just a diagnosis. They endure the strain of war, displacement, financial hardship, and isolation – all while fighting a life-threatening illness. Chronic stress isn’t just a background condition; it directly affects survival rates and treatment outcomes.
9.6 million Ukrainians live with mental health conditions, 80% of Ukrainians live with chronic or frequent stress.
In Ukrainian society, the topic of mental health is stillsurrounded by stigma. Too many people suffer in silence – not because help isunavailable, but because seeking it often feels frightening or inappropriate.
We advocate for psychological support to become an integralpart of cancer care – as it has long been in many countries around the world.Because the body and mind must heal together.
At Mission Kharkiv, we believe that psychological support is not an optional extra – it’s essential care. That’s why mental health is a core component of our Ukraine Cancer Relief program
