In the Chernihiv region, a visit to an equestrian club was organised for families whose relatives have gone missing

On the occasion of World Mental Health Day, volunteers from the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support unit, along with those from the Restoring Family Links unit of the Chernihiv regional branch of the Ukrainian Red Cross, hosted a gathering at Kazka Equestrian Club for these families.

Hippotherapy has a positive impact on a person’s psycho-emotional well-being. Interacting with horses and caring for animals can improve mood and relieve stress. Additionally, riding exercises nearly all muscle groups, contributing to overall physical strength. Participants enjoyed a tour of the club, had the opportunity to feed the horses, and experienced an uplifting environment. We ensure that people feel supported and have the chance to relax emotionally.
