New Mental Health Corners Established in Libraries
New mental health corners have been introduced in the libraries of the Chornomorsk community in Odesa.
These areas have been designed for both adults and children. Children represent the most vulnerable segment of our society, and they require special attention and support.
⠀
During the opening, gifts were presented to children by the Odesa Regional State Administration and Anna Velichko, the regional coordinator of the nationwide mental health program «How are you?».
⠀
These small yet significant steps contribute to emotional recovery and a sense of care, safety, and support. May these corners become spaces of inner strength, trust, and emotional peace for every community member.
⠀
We extend our gratitude to Anna Baron, the chief specialist of the Department of Education, Culture, Tourism, and Cultural Heritage, Youth and Sports of the Chornomorsk community, librarians Maria Dzyubenko and Nina Chekmak, as well as the village club team — Viktoriya Shlyakhta and Veronika Filonchik.
⠀
The implementation of the nationwide mental health program «How are you?» — an initiative by Ukraine’s First Lady Olena Zelenska — is carried out by the Coordination Center of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine / Mental Health UA with the support of WHO.
