On 24 March 2023, the communication campaign of the All-Ukrainian Mental Health Program was launched. As part of it, a special page, howareu.com, has been created with self-help techniques for times of stress, contacts of psychological support hotlines and useful tips on caring for your mental health.
According to statistics, 70% of Ukrainians have recently experienced stress or severe nervousness, more than 90% have had at least one symptom of an anxiety disorder, and 57% are at risk of developing mental health disorders. Yet only 2% of Ukrainians seek psychological help.
The resource offers:
evidence-based self-help techniques and self-help mobile apps;
contacts of psychological support hotlines;
a video that teaches you how to overcome stress;
online advice from psychologists;
webinars by world experts on coping with stress;
celebrities’ experiences and life hacks.
A healthy mind and the desire and strength to live are a personal victory that every Ukrainian needs no less than our great shared victory over the enemy — so that in response to yet another “How are you?” everyone in the country can sincerely say: “I’m doing really well!”
