“Education cannot wait”. The work of a psychologist

With the help of the “Education Can’t Wait” project, the potential of psychologists in 8 territorial communities of the Poltava region was increased and psychosocial support was provided to 2,000 people (including students, parents, guardians and teachers). Individual and group classes with a psychologist continue at Caritas Poltava.

Everything was interesting, rich and informative.
