MRIINYKY UA
Welcome! I’m Khrystyna Matvienko, the founder of the International Charitable Foundation “Mriynyky UA”, established in 2022 to support mental health, social adaptation, and emotional recovery for military families and all those affected by the war.
Mriynyky UA implements psychological and psychosocial support projects by creating healing spaces within state and partner institutions. We organize children’s and family camps, adaptation retreats, and support groups — building safe environments for deep healing and reflection.
Among the foundation’s core missions are providing psychological assistance to the families of defenders, rehabilitation and psychoeducation programs, support for internally displaced persons, and the development of a mental health culture in Ukraine.
We strive to break the stigma around mental health and help everyone who has experienced trauma to regain their inner strength.
We unite communities, government institutions, businesses, and philanthropists for a common goal: to build a living ecosystem of care, support, and recovery — and to establish a psychological retreat center that will become a place of renewal and a source of strength for many Ukrainian families.
In unity, we find our hope, our action, and our victory.
Caring for mental health is not a luxury — it is the foundation of a strong, resilient nation.
Let us shape a future worth living — together.
We rebuild Ukraine — through dreams, care, and action.

Organization of children's and family camps
Children's and family camps are an integral part of the foundation, as it was the main activity long before its creation. Hundreds of children and families have already felt the atmosphere of joy and renewal and have the opportunity to experience these emotions again and again, returning to such an important reboot in the mountains.

Restorative meetings
Resilient Together support meetings were created to unite and inspire women from different cities of Ukraine, giving them the opportunity to learn new skills from a psychologist and participate in various workshops.
These meetings also serve as a continuation of communication after the retreats, uniting and multiplying women's support circles.
