For more than twenty years of activity we accomplished many projects concerning medical, psychological and social assistance to various categories of patients: a former Soviet political prisoners and victims of political repression; former juvenile prisoners of Nazi concentration camps; victims of torture in law enforcement; persons affected by the Chernobyl disaster; refugees and asylum seekers; lonely elderly among the poorest and most vulnerable segments of the society.
All these people in one way or another have experienced violence, they suffered from severe physical and psychological injuries.
Years of experience working with our patients indicates that those people need a specific approach, special attention, great patience and much time for their rehabilitation.
