Weekly Events to Support Older People in Chernihiv

Every week, the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support team of the Chernihiv regional branch of the Ukrainian Red Cross organises an event for older people.

During the last session, participants engaged in a new creative activity—drawing with wax crayons using the hatching technique. This drawing session took place in a safe environment, allowing participants to share their emotions, receive support, and feel heard. The meeting also included tea and a short physical activity. Communication and care for both physical and mental health during these sessions enhance the psycho-emotional well-being of older people.
