In October, women from one of Samegrelo municipalities visited our rehabilitation center.
They worked with a psychologist, a lawyer, and a social worker. The psychologist met them frequently and held sessions, so she can tell us more:
"Through daily communication, their inner personality gradually opened up. They said they had never spoken out loud about the problems they had carried within for years. One of them had been conditioned to obey since childhood, and now, as an adult, she clearly understands the harm this unspoken obedience has caused, but she can't change anything..."
I listened to her story, and she felt relieved. She didn't want the conversation to end because she was listened."
The women left notes. Fragments from their letters:
"The place where I rest is a spiritual paradise"...
"I think how wonderful life would be if I lived differently"...
"This is a place where I could think about a happy future and, I think, I will definitely free myself from the memories of the past. I love you"...

It is always interesting to work with people who need support and empathy in the current situation. These are the people who come to the rehabilitation center of the Fund “Sukhumi”. In March, there were women and minors here. There were children who are growing up without a mother. They need an individual approach. The center's employees carried out systematic work with the beneficiaries.
Psychologist Eka Kvachakidze notes: "The family plays a huge role in the formation of a child's aggressiveness. A person maintains a characteristic style of aggressive reactions over a long period of time. We encountered such problems in the process of work, but our efforts had a positive effect on the children. This is visible in their drawings."
