In Lviv at the "YaMariupol" center, a training meeting on post-traumatic growth for defenders of Mariupol who were released from Russian captivity took place. It was led by a post-traumatic growth trainer, Roman Meshcheryakov, who also participated in the defense of Mariupol. This was reported by the site of the public organization "Heart of Azovstal".
Participants talked about adaptation to civilian life, psychological and social support.
Organizers prepared information about available recovery programs for defenders and their families.
According to "Heart of Azovstal", participants considered practical questions: where to seek help, how adaptation after returning from captivity occurs, and what opportunities are available to freed servicemen.
Meshcheryakov himself endured injuries, captivity, and rehabilitation. According to him, his personal experience helps him work with military personnel who have returned from captivity.
"My task as a trainer is to show, by my own example, how post-traumatic growth works. I myself went through hard battles, captivity, rehabilitation, and I understand what the guys and girls who have just returned are facing. And it is very important at this moment to know that there is a person nearby who not only listens but truly understands what you are talking about," he said.
The meeting was held in cooperation with the Mariupol City Military Administration within the framework of programs to support Mariupol veterans, service members, and their families.
