The Power of Waiting

The main goal of the project "The Power of Waiting" is to organize support meetings and self-help groups that provide a space for open discussion, experience-sharing, and the creation of a supportive environment.

Support groups are gatherings of people who come together to offer each other emotional, social, and other types of support. These groups are typically formed around a shared experience or challenge—such as waiting for loved ones to return from war.

Group members share their experiences, feelings, and knowledge, while showing empathy, compassion, and mutual support.

The project aims to help participants develop emotional regulation skills, cope with stressful situations, and build healthy relationships. The program is designed to support the families of military personnel, helping them recognize their own needs, preserve their inner resources, and maintain a positive emotional state during prolonged psychological stress.

The project includes access to professional psychological support, the development of effective emotional coping strategies, individual counseling, and access to helpful information.

A special focus is placed on creating a safe and supportive space for the partners of military personnel. This environment fosters emotional well-being, promotes adaptation to uncertainty, and helps reduce social isolation.
