New mental health corners have been established in the libraries of the Black Sea community in Odesa region.

These spaces are created for both adults and children, recognizing that children are the most vulnerable segment of society and need special attention.
⠀
During the opening ceremony, children received gifts from the Odesa Regional Administration and the regional coordinator of the nationwide mental health program «How Are You?» Anna Velichko.
⠀
These small yet significant steps contribute to emotional recovery, a sense of care, safety, and support. May these corners become areas of inner strength, trust, and emotional calm for every community member.
⠀
Special thanks go to Anna Baron, the chief specialist of the education, culture, tourism, and cultural heritage department, librarians Maria Dziubenko and Nina Chekmak, as well as the rural club team — Victoria Shliakhta and Veronika Filonchik.
⠀
The implementation of the nationwide mental health program «How Are You?» initiated by the First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska is supported by the Coordination Center of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and WHO.
