The First Mental Health Center of the Nationwide RETURNING Network, Founded by Victor and Olena Pinchuk, Opens in Dnipro<\/b><\/h3>\n

A modern and comfortable mental health center for military personnel, veterans, and their family members has opened in Dnipro. This is the first center of the nationwide RETURNING (Ukr. \u00ab\u041f\u041e\u0412\u0415\u0420\u041d\u0415\u041d\u041d\u042f\u00bb) network, founded by Victor and Olena Pinchuk to support Ukraine\u2019s Security and Defense Forces. Every year, more than 4,000 Ukrainian defenders and their family members will be able to receive comprehensive mental health support here.<\/p>\n

At the first stage of the project, 20\u201325 RETURNING centers are planned to be established across Ukraine. Together, they will be able to provide free professional support to more than 105,000 heroes and heroines annually.<\/p>\n

The new center has been established at one of Dnipro\u2019s key healthcare facilities. Since the first days of Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the city has become a major hub for supporting military personnel and civilians. It is also home to some of the country\u2019s strongest medical teams, which save lives every day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During a meeting with specialists at the RETURNING mental health center, Victor Pinchuk recalled how, last year, he and his wife Olena visited heroes and heroines at RECOVERY centers and asked what the next step in supporting them could be. All the military personnel they spoke with confirmed the need for psychological support. \u201cWe understand that everyone in the country needs psychological support now \u2014 it seems to me that this means millions of people. But the greatest burden falls on our heroes and heroines. They are at the front, constantly risking their health and, unfortunately, losing their brothers and sisters in arms. Their families also need this support. That is why we have taken the first step. This year, I hope we will open at least 20 RETURNING mental health centers,\u201d said the network\u2019s founder.<\/span><\/p>\n
