Blogs & conversations Addressing Moral Injury in Ukrainian Veterans
Visiting the military graveyard in Lviv, I was struck by the endless lines of graves adorned with the yellow and blue flag of Ukraine, a reminder of the nobility and futility of war. Working with the HopeFull charity on the 'Hope for the Wounded' project, we aim to create a network of 140 rehabilitation centres where veterans can freely articulate their experiences within a safe and trusted environment. This programme balances body, soul, spirit, and material needs, guiding veterans toward a new future defined by meaningful purpose while recognising their unique challenges, hopes, and dreams.
