Abstract

The article defines the essence of the concept of "social and psychological support of children of military personnel" as a set of measures and support aimed at ensuring the psychological and social well-being of children whose parents are involved in military service or participate in military operations. It is noted that the main components of socio-psychological support for children of military personnel are: psychological support - providing professional psychological assistance to children to manage stress, anxiety and other emotional challenges related to the military service of their father or mother; social integration – assistance in the integration of children in the school environment and community, provision of opportunities for participation in social events; education and training - ensuring access to quality education, even in cases of permanent changes of residence due to relocation; medical support – provision of medical assistance and psychotherapeutic support for children and their families; promotion of physical and mental development of children through special programs and activities; providing support and counseling to parents on effective ways of interacting with children in the conditions of military service; creation of conditions for stability and safety in the lives of children of military personnel. It is justified that the project approach in the socio-psychological support of children of military personnel should be considered as a systematic method of work aimed at the development of specific projects aimed at improving the socio-psychological condition of children. The domestic experience was studied, which shows that from 2022, the project approach in providing socio-psychological assistance to the families of military personnel is actively spreading in Ukraine, in particular, the project «Psychosocial support service for families of military personnel» of the Public Movement «Women's Power of Ukraine» is being implemented; volunteer project «How are you, brother?»; it is planned to implement a number of projects of relevant Ministries and departments within the framework of the implementation of the All-Ukrainian mental health program. The study and generalization of the best foreign experience of socio-psychological support for children of military personnel shows that the most effective work is carried out in such countries as the USA, Great Britain, and Israel. In the USA, a project is being implemented specifically for the socio-psychological support of military families - Families OverComing Under Stress (Project FOCUS). The non-profit organization Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC) implements ongoing projects for children of military personnel in the USA. In the UK there are organizations that implement projects to support military families, including psychological and social support, such as the Royal British Legion, SSAFA, Army Families Federation, RAF Families Federation, Naval Families Federation. Israel has a system of social services that provides psychological and social support for children of military personnel and their families, and counseling centers provide counseling, psychotherapy, and support services in important life situations.
