On 11 October 2025, the Interregional Academy of Personnel Management (IAPM) hosted the 6th International Festival ‘ART Therapy. Healing and Resource,’ in which I also took part. Festival participants attended master classes given by prominent psychologists, psychotherapists, coaches, and art therapists. The aim of the VI International Festival ‘ART Therapy. Healing and Resource’ was to integrate scientific approaches and practical developments in the field of psychological assistance to military personnel, veterans, children, adolescents and the civilian population of Ukraine. The ART Festival was positioned as an interdisciplinary platform that combines scientific research, practical methods, and innovative art therapy interventions. The event was aimed at sharing practical experience in working with military personnel, veterans and the civilian population of Ukraine. ART Festival is an important platform for discussing topical issues of psychological support and social interaction, as well as promoting the professional development of specialists in the helping professions. Particular emphasis was placed on the issue of working with children and adolescents who have suffered psychological trauma and need targeted assistance and resource support in the current military conditions.
