Since the beginning of the Russian aggression against Ukraine, the Zagreb County Red Cross Society has been organizing the reception and care of Ukrainian refugees at the Rakitje Hostel. In cooperation with a psychologist volunteer of Zagreb County Red Cross Society, a model of providing psychosocial support was created, implemented and adapted to the needs of Ukrainian refugees. The text describes the goals, forms and content of psychosocial support and a comparison of the providing of psychosocial support to Ukrainian refugees in relation to the providing of psychosocial support to displaced persons and refugees during our Homeland War.
