Ukraine: Psychologists provide psychological support to military at advanced

Psychologists in centers created near advanced positions provide psychological support to Ukrainian military who were injured during the Russian-Ukrainian war.

In the centers of psychological support created near the front line, with Ukrainian military personnel who have received injuries during hostilities, psychologists work.

While psychologists working here are engaged with the military in the center, they also visit the military personnel on the front line and provide them with psychological support.

Employees of the Anadolu agency (AA) visited the Center for Psychological Support in the Zaporizhzhya Region, operating in the area close to the front line.

A 47-year-old psychologist Alena, who did not want to name his last name for security reasons, told the agency that they provide psychological and medical care to the military who come to the center.

According to her, when she joined the army after Russia started the war in Ukraine: “I have been here for two years. In this center we help fighters overcome injuries received in the war. In addition, we visit them every day on the front line “.

According to Alyona, the center uses methods such as drug treatment, massage, treatment with hot and cold water, which are applied to the military delivered to the center due to problems such as stress and various injuries.

According to Alion, they strive to ensure that the military personnel whose condition is not serious can return to the fulfillment of their duties on the front line in the shortest possible time: “Of course, not everything is treated with medicines. We even take some of them for fishing. Alas, not everyone knows how to catch fish, but communication with nature is very important for them. Such treatment also helps them get rid of stress. Most of the military who have received psychological assistance here can immediately return to duty. For those whose condition is somewhat more serious, we are somewhat more serious. We provide a referral to the corresponding medical institutions. “

32-year-old psychologist Anya said that she has been in the army for 11 years.

Anya, who did not want to name her last name, said that since March this year, he has been working as a “military psychologist.”

Stressing that she helps the military who needs medicines, Anya added: “We are actually a mobile team. We are not only in the first -aid posts. Our employees are constantly visiting advanced ones and conducting the necessary treatment there.”
