Olha Mykytchyn is a graduate of the “Social Work” program at the Ukrainian Catholic University. She has participated in volunteering projects in the East of Ukraine and in projects to raise awareness for the topic of autism in Ukraine. In February 2022, she joined the Children’s Voices Charitable Foundation to help manage the psychological help line for parents and children. Currently, she coordinates a team of 20 psychologists and psychotherapists who provide free psychological assistance in the range of 10 to 15 consultations for parents and children who do not have the physical opportunity to meet with a specialist. Her team has now also completed the first set of a storytelling course with elements of art therapy for teenagers who write and engage in creativity. Under the leadership of a famous Ukrainian screenwriter and director, a group of children learned to deal with their experiences (largely military) through writing their own stories.
