The Mindy Charitable Foundation, together with the Kantar Ukraine research center, intends to conduct a study of mental health of the population in war conditions.
The foundation told Interfax-Ukraine that the study will be carried out with the financial support of the charitable foundation and the volunteer cryptocoin UAFcoin, created by the Ukrainian crypto social network Sl8 (sl8.online) to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The first stage of the study started early August 2022. The respondents of the online survey will be citizens of Ukraine.
“The consequences of war include, in particular, long-term metal damage that in the future may negatively affect society, destroy families and communities, disrupt the development of the social and economic structure of nations. The study will help identify problem areas and improve mental health of the population, which plays a critical role on the way to victory in the war,” the foundation said.
The study will be conducted in Ukrainian cities with a population of more than 50,000 people. The age of the respondents is from 18 to 55 years. Study participants will be randomly selected from a representative sample. A team of Ukrainian psychologists and leading research institutes worked on the study program.
The purpose of this survey is to collect information that will provide answers to the level of formation of a culture of psychological assistance and the needs for its formation and development, to determine the state of mental and social health of Ukrainians. This study will help in the work of volunteer and government organizations that provide support to Ukrainians during the war.
Mindy Charitable Foundation is a charitable foundation that implements a nationwide social and humanitarian program for the reintegration of war victims into active life. The Foundation specializes in psychological aid, physical rehabilitation on the basis of the partner international network of REGUS business centers, support in prosthetics, vocational guidance and training in various industries, employment by quotas and social adaptation.
