33 libraries received kits for working in various areas of art therapy

Sometimes creativity allows us to express our feelings and experiences when words fail us.

We are happy to share some wonderful news with you — 33 libraries in four oblasts of Ukraine have received kits for various types of art therapy as part of the «Healthy Libraries» project.

These include sets of pastels, watercolors, paper, easels, brushes, modeling clay, calligraphy kits, and interesting puzzle sorters.

We believe that these kits will help community members find their own way to overcome stress through art.

We would also like to share an interesting solution that libraries have implemented to support their visitors.

A therapy dog named Hibuki has taken up residence in these spaces to help cope with stress, anxiety, and fear. This is not just a soft toy, but a cuddly dog and a source of support that is always nearby.

His story began in Israel, when local children had to hide in shelters from dangerous rockets.

We thank our partners for caring about the health and stress resistance of Ukrainians.
