Social Works in Certain Areas of Donetsk аnd Lugansk Regions

Abstract

Рrevention of negative phenomena in the environment is compounded by the annual growth rate of crisis phenomena in society. They are closely linked to the political, socio-economic situation and instability in the Ukrainian society. There is acute discussion about military actions in some districts of Donetsk and Lugansk regions. Also, insufficient attention from the authorities in the areas of hostilities encourage professionals to organize social works through assisting children and young people and the elderly to create a positive view of a healthy lifestyle. In modern conditions, there is a need for social and psychological assistance caused by fear, post-traumatic stress disorder, economic crisis, depression, anxiety and cognitive process destabilization. The experience of Polish specialists working with people in combat zones is very useful for social workers in Ukraine.
