As part of the Psychological Practices Project and the All-Ukrainian program “How Are You?” initiated by Ukraine’s First Lady Olena Zelenska, a gender equality specialist and psychologists from the State Emergency Service in Donetsk Oblast organized a therapeutic outing to a horse riding club for women performing critical duties. The event aimed to provide psychological support, emotional recovery, and a relaxed space for informal communication.

Participants engaged with horses, spoke with instructors, and experienced horse riding, which offers both recreational and therapeutic benefits by reducing stress, restoring emotional balance, and enhancing psychological well-being. Such initiatives help personnel recharge emotionally and feel supported by their colleagues during challenging times.
