LIDIA Bazualyeva
MSF discharged patient from Kherson

Where I lived,
this is a neighbourhood that was flooded when the hydroelectric
power station was torn down. And I started to have these thoughts,
that used to haunt me.
In Lidia’s home town of Kherson, the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam in 2023 resulted in the flooding of the area, forcing Lidia to move to Vinnytsia.

I always had these thoughts and panic attacks. And then I started to go
to master classes here, at the Kherson Hub, all these activities helped me
psychologically, so I slowly came out of this very difficult(post-traumatic) state. Now this is my only family, and I have never missed an event.

In partnership with MSF, the Kherson hub organises arts and crafts workshops for displaced people, raising awareness of mental health.
People identified with post-traumatic stress disorder are referred to the MSF centre specialized in war-related PTSD therapy.

We used to think that a psychologist was
someone who would tell you how to live.
But a psychologist, I say, is such a professional. I try to explain to people my age what a psychologist is. So that they don't think it's for mentally ill people. No.

A few days ago,
Lidia celebrated her 74th birthday. She counted 34 people from this Kherson organisation who wished her a happy birthday.

I was so happy that I started to cry. This is very important to me, because here, when I communicate and share information, I slowly start to live.
