Litokryl Online (May-July 2026)

By Hanna Karika | Director

During the reporting period, Litokryl Online continued to provide children and adolescents with access to psychosocial support, educational activities, and opportunities for communication regardless of where they are located. The online format remains especially important for children who cannot regularly attend offline spaces, live in different regions of Ukraine, or are currently abroad.

Key results for the period

494 new children and adolescents reached through the online program
213 psychosocial support sessions conducted online
331 educational, creative, and developmental activities delivered online

These results show that the online format continues to be an important part of the Litokryl program. It allows us to reach children in different circumstances while maintaining regular contact, structured activities, and access to professional support.

What stands behind these numbers

Psychosocial sessions focused on emotional well-being, reducing anxiety, developing self-regulation skills, and helping children cope with stress and uncertainty. Specialists adapted activities to the online environment and used interactive exercises, creative methods, games, and group discussions to keep children engaged and create a supportive atmosphere.

Alongside psychosocial support, children participated in educational and creative activities that encouraged communication, learning, self-expression, and interaction with peers. The online format gives children an opportunity to remain part of a community even when distance, relocation, security conditions, or other circumstances make regular offline participation difficult.

A key advantage of Litokryl Online is its accessibility. Children can join sessions from a familiar environment and receive consistent support regardless of their location. For some participants, online activities are the most accessible or the only available way to stay connected with specialists and peers on a regular basis.

The number of new participants during this reporting period also shows that the need for accessible remote support remains significant. We continue to improve the program and adapt its formats so that children can receive meaningful psychosocial and developmental support even when circumstances around them change.

Thank you for supporting Litokryl Online. Your contribution helps us keep these sessions accessible, reach more children, and provide regular support to those who may not have access to similar services in their communities.

Litokryl Online (January-April 2026)

By Hanna Karika | Director

During the period from January to April 2026, the Litokryl online program continued to provide access to psycho-emotional support for children who are unable to attend the offline space or are located in different regions of Ukraine and abroad.

Key results for the period:

41 unique beneficiaries
413 session connections

During this period, the online format was not focused on large-scale events but rather on regular work in small groups, allowing for deeper engagement and a more individualized approach to each child. As a result, while the number of participants is smaller, the level of engagement and consistency of attendance remain high.

Participation dynamics:

January and February showed stable participation in ongoing sessions
In March, there was a decrease in new connections, reflecting a stronger focus on working with already established groups
In April, activity increased again, with a rise in the number of visits

What stands behind these numbers:

Online sessions were focused on reducing anxiety, developing self-regulation skills, and supporting children’s emotional well-being. We continued to apply adapted methodologies that combine interactivity, play-based elements, and structured emotional work, helping children stay engaged even in a remote format.

A key value of the online program is the ability to create a safe and supportive environment regardless of a child’s location, which is especially important for those who do not have access to stable offline support.

The online program remains an essential part of the overall support system, ensuring continuity of care and accessibility for children in different circumstances.

We continue to develop this direction because we see how important it is for children to have access to consistent support, wherever they are. With your help, we can maintain regular sessions, improve the quality of our programs, and reach more children who need support.

Thank you for standing with us. Your support makes it possible to continue providing consistent, compassionate care to children who need it most.

If you’re able, please consider supporting Litokryl Online. Every contribution helps us continue providing consistent psychological support to children for whom online care is often the only safe way to receive help — at home, in a familiar and secure environment.

Litokryl Online: ongoing support for children

By Hanna Karika | Director

Dear Friends,

For Ukrainian children growing up amid war, emotional safety and stability remain a daily challenge. This is why Litokryl Online continues to be a vital part of our work — allowing us to provide qualified psychological and speech therapy support to children wherever they are.

During this reporting period, we continued working with children already enrolled in the program, ensuring consistent and ongoing care. At the same time, new beneficiaries joined Litokryl Online, for whom the online format became the only safe way to receive support.

What we did
Within the Litokryl Online program, children participated in individual and group psychological sessions, as well as speech therapy consultations. These sessions focused on reducing anxiety, managing emotional stress, supporting communication skills, and rebuilding confidence.

Through creative and educational online activities, children learned to recognize and process emotions, interact with peers, and express themselves in safe and supportive ways. For many, these sessions became a rare moment of stability and connection amid uncertainty.

Results for the reporting period

Continued support for children already participating in the program
18 new beneficiaries joined Litokryl Online

The online format allows us to remain present for children when offline support is not possible — offering care directly in their homes, in an environment where they feel safest.

Thank you for standing with us. Your support makes it possible to continue providing consistent, compassionate care to children who need it most.

If you’re able, please consider supporting Litokryl Online.
Every contribution helps us continue providing consistent psychological and speech therapy support to children for whom online care is often the only safe way to receive help — at home, in a familiar and secure environment.
