The article attempts to define the role of partnership between an educational institution and state and public organizations in providing psychosocial support to participants of the educational process (the population affected by war) during and after the war. The author examines the conditions for the effective provision of psychosocial support and the peculiarities of the state's readiness to face today's difficulties. The main ways to solve this problem are to preserve and strengthen children's mental health, restore social ties, and create a safe educational space with the help of various institutions providing psychological support on the basis of partnership.
The article analyses innovative practices and programs, online and offline resources for every Ukrainian aimed at supporting children and adults, as well as training projects for psychologists and educators that help to understand the essence of psychosocial work, provide practical skills to help participants in the educational process and are actively implemented in Ukraine: The Better Learning Program (BLP), implemented by the Norwegian Refugee Council; practical skills for coping with stress; psychosocial support for children and adults from the Association for Innovative and Digital Education course; the KROK educational game;
a free online course "Social learning and interaction in an educational institution: learning through playing for a successful future"; the program "YOU ARE?" Program, that was created at the initiative of O. Zelenska (contains explanations of stress, reactions to stress, and exercises to help cope with different emotional states).
The results of our theoretical and experimental studies have shown that psychosocial assistance to victims of military operations involves a multifaceted and complex nature of work, requires coordination of efforts of all participants in the educational process, as well as te organization of intersectoral and interdepartmental interaction between specialists of relevant services in providing full psychological, social, pedagogical and psychosocial assistance.
