There are 13 Resilience Centres operating in the Mykolaiv region, where people can receive social and psychological support, information on social services, as well as advice on employment and legal assistance.

This was reported by Oksana Yelchiieva, Director of the Department of Social Protection of the Population at the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration, during a briefing, according to NikVesti.

«With the help of our international partners, Resilience Centres are currently being opened. There are currently 13 in the region, but we continue to cooperate with international partners, in particular with UNICEF and the Fund for the Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities, through which funding is provided for such services,» says Oksana Yelchiieva.

She added that social adaptation spaces are also being opened in the region with the support of the UNDP and the Danish Government. There are currently six such spaces operating in the region, and plans are in place to increase their number in the future.

«As for the Resilience Centres, three more centres are planned to open in the near future this year. In total, resilience services are provided in 40 local communities through social service providers,» concluded Oksana Yelchiieva.

As a reminder, in March, a social adaptation centre was opened in the Korabelnyi district of Mykolaiv with the support of the Danish government and UNDP. The centre offers English and Ukrainian language classes, art therapy, psychological training, masterclasses, and a computer lab.
