Today, when many Ukrainians were forced to go abroad because of the war, the problem of the psychological state takes on special importance. Losing a home, being separated from family and friends, and experiencing traumatic events can have serious consequences for the mental health of refugees. This is especially true for those who are trying to find a new life in other countries. One of these countries is Slovakia, where many Ukrainian refugees have moved. In times of stress and uncertainty, access to psychological help becomes extremely important. Below are some resources that can help Ukrainians get the support they need in Slovakia.
