On the basis of one of Kropyvnytskyi medical institutions cadets of the faculty of training specialists for criminal police units of the Donetsk State University of Internal Affairs are constantly involved in the process of rehabilitation of servicemen and civilians, providing them with psychological and physical support.
Together with occupational therapists, they select optimal rehabilitation methods for the patients, taking into account their interests. Drawing, sculpting, playing board games help to distract them from difficult memories and to set up for positive future.
One of the most difficult stages for defenders is their psychological adaptation to peaceful life. After what they had experienced at the front or in captivity, it is important for them to find a point of support, to feel needed and to regain their inner balance.
Joint walks with female cadets contribute to their socialization, restoration of social skills, and establishment of communication.
While working with the military and the civilians who experienced hardships, the police officers learn to find words of support and understand a person’s emotional state. These are the skills important for law enforcement.
