The pilot of our new project has started: Rehabilitation through tourism

We at Help Ukraine Gothenburg have launched a pilot program for the rehabilitation of Ukrainian war veterans through active tourism and psychological assistance.

This is not just a trip - it is an opportunity for our defenders to return to an active life, restore physical and psychological balance, find support, and prove to themselves that life goes on even after serious injuries and amputations.

Project goal

The program is aimed at supporting war veterans and their family members. We help them adapt to new realities through movement, teamwork and interaction with nature. It is fundamentally important that we work in close cooperation with military psychologists who accompany participants at all stages - this helps to overcome the difficulties of adaptation and is extremely important for both the veteran himself and the entire family.

Continuation of our mission

We started by supporting children from vulnerable categories - we organized rehabilitation camps for children of military personnel and those who suffered from war. Today we continue this work, focusing on veterans — those who gave the most for Ukraine, and now need support on the path to a new life.

We are convinced: the sustainable development of Ukrainian society is impossible without comprehensive, humane and long-term support of those who defended our freedom.

Why is this important?

Physical recovery

Activity helps to fight the consequences of injuries, improves overall well-being, and helps restore self-confidence.

Psychological support

Communication with peers, support from professional psychologists, joint overcoming of challenges — all this forms a resource environment for internal changes.

Social adaptation

Involvement in active life outside the family circle through interaction with nature, joint activities, and new experiences.

We are only at the beginning of this important path. Ahead are new stages of the program, expansion of the format and involvement of a larger number of participants. We believe that such initiatives create not only healthy communities, but also a strong, resilient country.
