Superhumans Center, for participating in the Victory Beats project, has launched a series of special retreats for veterans' families. These are unique events based on a trauma-informed approach aimed at identifying and helping to reduce problems within families, building new quality relationships, even deeper understanding of their partners and children, and better understanding and accepting themselves.
The war was a strong psychological shock for, perhaps, every Ukrainian family. It brought even more challenges to those who joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and, especially, to those who returned from the front after being seriously injured and losing limbs. The family is the fundamental basis of society, and psychological rehabilitation is a necessary component for its development and overcoming national trauma.
For three days in early February 2025, seven families with children, accompanied by psychologists, held a retreat in the Carpathians in a special remote area. The participants had a number of individual and group classes with psychologists, special creative activities for adults and children, and special free time alone with nature, away from civilization and information noise.
Victory Beats acted as project partners and helped with the organization of the location and, of course, conducting music therapy sessions for adults and children. We also separately recorded a trial set with one of the participants of our therapeutic DJ courses.
The results of the event will be clear in a few months, as we have several more retreats with the group with a busy program ahead. However, in just these few days, it was very pleasant to see a change in consciousness and perception of each other among close people, a visible relaxation from the daily routine, and a greater and more positive concentration on our loved ones.
