The results of a survey of providers of psychological and legal aid have been published

This publication presents results and conclusions of a survey conducted by the NGO Human Rights Vector with the purpose of preparation of publication about initiatives which provide psychological and/or legal aid in the conditions of the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.
The main objectives of the survey: 
А) to collect experiences of providing psychological and legal aid online in the conditions of the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine; 

B) to conduct a brief overview of the needs of Ukrainian providers of psychological and legal aid and the challenges they face. 

The survey was conducted online using a questionnaire developed specifically for this research. The respondents described their activities, achievements and challenges that emerged in 2022, as well as discussed the help they need to continue and improve their activities. The survey was conducted from January 17 to February 5, 2023.
We would like to help disseminate further the important experiences of providing psychological and legal aid online during the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and share an overview of the needs of Ukrainian providers of psychological and legal aid and the challenges they face. We have prepared 
the publication “Psychological and Legal Aid Online during the First Year of the Full-Scale Invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation”, which consists of two parts: 

“Part I. An overview of the needs and challenges faced by psychological and legal aid providers” — https://hrvector.org/en/reports/23-03-20-p1 
“Part II. Directory of Psychological and Legal Aid Providers Assisting Survivors of the Russian Federation’s War against Ukraine”. 
These publications can assist in: 
• providing better assistance to people affected by the war in Ukraine, e.g. by sharing additional information about the services of various initiatives;
• finding a helpline or initiative that provides relevant aid;
• finding partners for cooperation in Ukraine and abroad;
• sharing experiences in Ukraine and abroad;
• summarizing and recording different experiences of assistance provision;
• looking for joint solutions to the new challenges;
• developing and conducting further in-depth research.
 
Part I is a report based on the research outcomes. Part II is a guide that can be used by both the aid–providers and those seeking assistance for themselves or their families.We invite you to actively use and distribute both publications. I express my sincere gratitude to the team of the Human Rights Vector NGO, psychologists, lawyers, helpline operators – all those who are working together to help us survive these terrible events and bring Ukraine’s Victory closer!

Together we are stronger!
