In Mukachevo, a training session on psychological first aid was held for the Ukrainian Red Cross team

The training was attended by 16 volunteers and staff from the Mukachevo city branch and the Mukachevo district branch of the Ukrainian Red Cross, including social helpers from the Home-Based Care programme.

It is important to note that psychological first aid training is mandatory for all Ukrainian Red Cross volunteers and staff. The main goal of the training is to develop practical skills for providing psychological first aid, particularly during the arrival of evacuation trains. The team will be involved in meeting people who have been forced to leave their homes, whose lives have been disrupted, and who may require support. This training was supported by the European Commission under the EU4Health programme.
