Wisdom, Strength, Inspiration – a meeting in Dnipro dedicated to World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

To mark World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, psychologists from the Dnipro regional branch of the Ukrainian Red Cross held a special meeting for older internally displaced persons (IDPs) at the Ya’Mariupol support centre.

The event aimed to provide emotional support and strengthen participants’ inner resilience. In a warm and supportive atmosphere, attendees shared life experiences, spoke about the challenges they had overcome, and discussed the sources of inspiration that had helped them move forward.

The meeting featured psychological techniques, group exercises, and open dialogue. These elements fostered a sense of connection, the value of each person’s voice, and the strength that comes with age.

Such initiatives help older people feel part of society, access psychological support, and regain confidence in themselves.
