The NGO "Community Self-Help" has developed, created, improved, and worked on methodological materials, applications, and educational videos that enhance self-reliance and self-help for parents, children, psychologists, rescuers, and Ukrainians in occupied territories. Below you will find a summary and more information about some of the works of the Community Self-Help team:

The Harvard Humanitarian Initiative at Harvard University, along with Harvard Medical School and the Harvard University School for Public Health, invited experts from the "Community Self-Help" NGO - Marta Pyvovarenko, Kate Buchko, and Vitaliy Kharechko - to collaborate on improving the scenario for the "Save Lives" series of social videos.
