MyMind Counselling
Ukrainian Безкоштовні психотерапевтичні консультації (максимум 6 на людину) тепер пропонуються особам старше 18 років, які проживають в Ірландії та ідентифікуються як такі, що:
✓ Прибули до Ірландії з України у результаті затяжного конфлікту;
✓ Мають членів сім'ї або близьких, які зараз перебувають в Україні;
✓ Зазнали тяжкої втрати в результаті конфлікту;
✓ Страждають від проблем, пов’язаних з психічним здоров'ям, внаслідок подій в Україні.
Щоб скористатися безкоштовними психотерапевтичними консультаціями, будь ласка, зареєструйтесь уMyMind. Вам потрібно буде надати деякі особисті дані та відповісти на декілька запитань, пов'язаних з вашим психічним станом, щоб допомогти нам оцінити, як найкраще ми зможемо вас підтримати. Після завершення процесу реєстрації, будь ласка, виберіть ‘Free Counselling Project’ «Проект безкоштовного психотерапевтичного консультування», щоб продовжувати далі.
На тих, кому не виповнилося 18 років, тобто дітей та підлітків, за сеанси психотерапевтичної допомоги уMyMindрозповсюджується повна вартість (наразі 50 євро). Консультації для дітей і підлітків проходять виключно сам на сам. |
