Project Goal
Improving the quality of live of, and providing support to, the military servicemen's pregnant wives and/or wives with children of preschool age
How is the project implemented?
By creating a supportive environment for women where everyone is familiar with each other. Such environment should allow every woman who is a military serviceman's wife, living with her own expectations for victory, all the stress and feeling of loneliness, to find support, access to relevant information and advice from experts qualified to consult on parenting. This is an online environment that provides access to communication and support, assitance for overcoming stress and traumatic experience, opportunities for charging one's internal resources, using unique approaches.
Development of warm circles
The project has become a place where women can gather
and share their experiences, thoughts and emotions. Thanks to this, more people began to join the warm circles, which is very gratifying. Women understand that they are not alone, but needed and heard.
Pregnancy and birth
The childbirth preparation course continues.
We talk about important things, we practice. After all, the day on which a mother and baby are born changes the whole life. We had four healthy babies in a month.
As part of the course, women will fall into the "arms" of individual support from breastfeeding specialists, sleep specialists and take the first steps in the world of postpartum life.
Appointments with the pediatrician
The project of Ya.E. starts meetings with pediatrician Oleksandra Kashchenko. Women will be able to find answers to questions about children's health, SARS prevention, and baby food. These questions concern every mother, and especially women who are left without support and are responsible for the health of their child alone.
Personal consultations
During the month of the existence of the project, Ya.E. conducted many individual consultations with young mothers who have small children. They talked about healthy eating, pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as how to take care of a child.
