To support parents, a live broadcast was held with the hub's new methodologist, Khristina Tkach, and a psychologist, Natalia Prysyazhnyuk. During the broadcast, the specialists discussed what parents should do after their child is diagnosed with ASD, how the LEVCHYK team operates, how different specialists collaborate, and how parents can help their child at home.
LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB organized an Autism Awareness Day for first graders at the Dzvinochok private school in Lviv. The director of the hub, Olga Kulik, visited the educational institution and talked to the children about autism spectrum disorders, the developmental characteristics of children on the spectrum, and the classes they attend at the hub. As part of the initiative, the pupils were also invited on an excursion to LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB, which proved to be informative and deepened the children's knowledge of autism. In particular, during the visit, the children visited the sensory room and took part in a music therapy session.
On Christmas Eve, the children at the Hub received gifts from the LEVCHYK team and its partners. During a masterclass, they handmade Christmas tree decorations, which were sent to the foundation's partners and friends. Then the children went on holiday.
Today, LEVCHYK Mykolaiv already provides classes for 35 children, and 40 children are on a waiting list. Children receive correctional classes on speech therapy, sensory integration, and ABA therapy.
On the eve of the winter holidays, pupils also received Christmas gifts from LEVCHYK SPECTRUM HUB partners.

In December 2025, 75 sessions with the therapist were held for women:
🌸 72 individual sessions on the CRSV direction;
🌸 2 individual and 1 group sessions on the Ambiguous Loss direction.
As part of our collaboration with the Ukrainian Women Lawyers Association “JurFem”, we received two requests to provide support to women survivors of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV), one in Lviv and one in Kyiv. GIDNA psychologists were present during the testimonies, supported the women, and drew up reports on their psychological and emotional state.
On December 1, with the support of the Hansen Ukrainian Mission, a shelter for women survivors of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) was officially opened. In particular, here they will receive information about getting help from the GIDNA project. Discussions are on regarding the most effective ways to cooperate with the Hansen Ukrainian Mission.
On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, as part of the global initiative “16 Days Against Violence,” psychologist and curator of the GIDNA project, Anna Hrubaia, went live broadcasting with Anna Gopsta, representative of the legal aid hotline "JurFem: Support" to discuss the issue of sexual harassment.
FFU participated in an Inter-Sectoral Round Table as part of the “16 Days Against Violence” campaign. The event’s purpose was to bring together experts from various fields — lawyers, psychologists, medical professionals, representatives of law enforcement agencies, and the publicity — for open dialogue, sharing experiences, and developing practical mechanisms for dealing with violence cases in the security and defense sector.
During the discussion, which was attended by representatives of the FFU, including Anna Hrubaia, curator of the GIDNA project, participants focused on the current challenges faced by military personnel, both in the army and in civilian life, as well as on finding effective mechanisms for cooperation to prevent violence. Topics of discussion included overcoming gender-based violence in the military, social adaptation of military servicemembers after discharge from military service, international standards for protecting female military servicemembers from sexual violence, PTSD, and ambiguous loss.
We continued to improve the skills of the GIDNA project psychologists through 2 group and 3 individual supervisions, during which specialists expanded their knowledge and analyzed cases of working with women in the CRSV and Ambiguous Loss directions.
