Mykolaiv opens enrolment to psychological support programme for women whose relatives are missing or in captivity

A new enrolment to the GIDNA project, which provides psychological support to women whose relatives are missing or in captivity, has started in Mykolaiv and the region.

This was announced by the organisers of the GIDNA project.

Women over the age of 18 are invited to participate — mothers, wives, daughters or sisters of missing or captured persons.

Programme participants will receive:

• 16 individual online sessions with a psychologist;

• access to group sessions (optional);

• the opportunity to choose a specialist independently;

• complete confidentiality (personal data is not disclosed).

To join the programme, please call +38 050 722 89 13 (Anna, GIDNA project manager) or fill out an application form at gidna.org.
The programme will run from 5 July to 30 September 2025.

The project is implemented with the support of Dan Church Aid and Norwegian Church Aid in Ukraine (DCA-NCA) within the framework of the initiative «Comprehensive Humanitarian Response for Conflict-Affected Ukrainians and Citizens of Other Countries in Ukraine, Poland, Romania and Moldova», funded by the German Federal Foreign Office in partnership with Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe.

The programme «Indefinite Loss» within the GIDNA project of the Future for Ukraine Foundation has been operating for over a year. During this period, 45 women have applied for help, of whom 38 have completed the support course.

As a reminder, a psychosocial support centre was opened in Mykolaiv to help families with children.
