What do we help with?

• Legal aid. We provide legal advice on your stay in Poland, social assistance, labour law and other legal matters.
• Psychological support for children. We organise individual consultations for children who feel lost, afraid and sad, have difficulties in learning and struggle with their emotions because of what they have recently gone through, that is, fleeing from Ukraine, experiencing the war and being in a completely new environment.
• Psychological support for adults. We offer consultations for those who feel lost and afraid, struggle with finding their place in Poland, cannot cope with stress and tiredness, and need to talk with somebody they can trust. We do everything we can do help those who have experienced the war and had to flee from Ukraine.
• Help with accommodation. We provide information about the availability of temporary accommodation in Lublin.
• Education of children and teenagers. We help them get in touch with schools and universities. Furthermore, we provide information about the educational system, available offers to support the Ukrainian children in Polish schools and extracurricular classes.

Our assistants are eager to help you with making appointments and getting to the right place. Besides, they can work as interpreters for you so that no miscommunication takes place.
