Updated on Sept. 28, 2026 in Special Needs
A group of Ukrainian children will travel to Azerbaijan on September 28, 2026, to receive dedicated social and psychological rehabilitation services. This initiative aims to support youth who have been significantly affected by the ongoing war in their home country.
Why it matters
Displacement and conflict-related trauma require structured support systems to address the developmental and psychological needs of children. Accessing consistent, professional rehabilitation in a stable environment can be vital for the long-term well-being of young people impacted by war.
The Social Services Agency has previously provided social and psychological rehabilitation services to nearly 450 Ukrainian children and young people. The efficacy of these specific camp-based interventions on long-term outcomes remains under evaluation.
