Psychological assistance, education and choosing the future: results of the PSS Schools project
Psychological assistance, education and choosing the future: results of the PSS Schools project
More than 2,000 children and parents received psychological assistance, 120 high school students received help in choosing a future profession, and additional classes on the Ukrainian language and mathematics were held for 80 schoolchildren. These were the key results of the third stage of the “PSS Schools” project, which ended in August 2026.
The biggest direction of the project was psychosocial assistance for children and adults affected by the war. More than 2,000 children and parents received professional psychological support during individual, group and field sessions.
Psychologists separately worked with teachers. During the trainings, they mastered the skills of first aid, stabilization and stress reduction techniques, breathing exercises and algorithms of actions during panic attacks.
Another direction helped high school students answer the important question — where to go after school. 120 students passed the career guidance test. Children and their parents received individual profiles with information about students’ strengths and abilities, as well as recommendations for professions and specialties that may correspond to them.
The project also helped schoolchildren to catch up for educational losses. 123 additional classes on the Ukrainian language and mathematics were held for 80 students of the 7–11th grade.
The third stage of PSS Schools lasted from December 2025 to August 2026 and covered educational institutions in various regions of Ukraine.
