37-year-old Olesia (name changed) from Lutsk became a victim of abuse and found herself in a difficult life situation. Fear of her partner, emotional dependence, toxic relationships, reluctance to go public, and a desperate need to “understand herself” led her to seek help from Marina Islam, a psychologist with the Rivne Regional Charitable Foundation “Our Future.”

Anonymity and free access to services became the key factors that encouraged Olesia to take action.

“Psychological help is expensive, and right now I simply can’t afford it — but I really needed support,” — Olesia shares. — “I know I have a long way to go, but thanks to my psychologist, I now understand which direction I need to move in.”

Marina Islam, an experienced psychologist, provides professional counseling within the framework of the “Integrated Humanitarian Response in War and Post-War Recovery” project. Her clients include people in crisis, internally displaced persons, and individuals at increased risk of infection with socially dangerous diseases.

The project is implemented by the Rivne Regional Charitable Foundation “Our Future” across the Rivne and Volyn regions.

In Ukraine, the “Integrated Humanitarian Response in War and Post-War Recovery” project is implemented by the Alliance for Public Health with financial support from the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC, UK) and technical support from the Christian Aid charity organization.

The project aims to support communities by addressing urgent humanitarian, social, and medical needs and helping people live with dignity during times of crisis.
