The project is designed, first of all, for consultations of the displaced with kids who have difficulties in psycho-social adaptation to new conditions of dwelling and as a consequence – there is a threat for family preservation.
Professional psychologists, project employees communicate with the displaced absolutely gratuitously, knowledgeably and on an anonymous basis.

At other point of time a message can be left on an automatic responding machine – hot-line psychologists will definitely call back to discuss the problem and render assistance needed. It is also possible to leave a request for a Skype consultation.
The project is aimed to establish a dialogue with IDPs on principles of trust, solidarity and support; motivate people to share their own problems and count on support of others.
