It should be noted that the Povernennia project was created to support the mental health of Ukraine's defenders, veterans, and their family members who have suffered the psychological consequences of the war caused by Russian aggression. Today, 17 Povernennia centers are already operating in Vinnytsia, Dnipro, Zhytomyr, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kyiv and the Kyiv area, Kropyvnytskyi, Lutsk, Odesa, Poltava, Rivne, Ternopil, Uzhhorod, Khmelnytskyi, Cherkasy, and Chernihiv, as well as at one of the medical institutions of the National Guard of Ukraine.

The first stage of the Povernennia project provides for the opening of at least 25 such centers across Ukraine, which will be able to assist more than 100,000 service members, veterans, and their family members each year.
