Psychological rehabilitation
Restoration of psychological health is an integral part of the treatment process. That is why mental health specialists work at the "Unbroken" Center with every person affected by the war.

These are not only consultations and psychotherapy groups, but also various types of therapy: art therapy, Gestalt therapy, cognitive-behavioral, psychoanalytic and EMDR therapy, as well as body-oriented psychotherapy.
Also, the Center's specialists work with victims of torture and people who have survived captivity often turn to us for help.
