The program offers practical recommendations on how to make the family's first meeting after an injury warmer and safer. Psychologist Svitlana Roiz advises step by step to help children and adults adapt to changes, maintaining emotional connection and support.
"How are you?" is not only support during the war, but also a fundamental social initiative that is forming a culture of mental health in Ukraine today, without postponing it until "after victory."
