Description: The Guardian Angels Project oversees a rehabilitation program for soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, including the National Guard, and territorial defence battalions, hundreds of whom have sustained serious injuries during Anti-Terrorist Operations (ATO) in eastern Ukraine.
WHAT WE DO:
As part of our project's focus on the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), we have launched our Hero’s Companion project which aims to pair quality trained service dogs with veterans of the Ukrainian armed forces and Ukrainian volunteer battalions who continue to struggle with PTSD and other invisible injuries inflicted by time spent in combat operations.
