The military operations undertaken to safeguard the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Ukrainian state against Russian aggression have caused many difficulties. As a result, a huge number of people forced to leave their homes due to the war suffer from feelings of fear and helplessness. This particularly applies to children. In the absence of timely, qualitative, and professionally administered assistance, being in a combat zone can be a traumatic event for children and have a lasting impact on their future lives. Undoubtedly, children represent the linchpin of a nation's future. Only by promoting their development, providing a proper educational environment, creating favorable conditions for socialization, and overcoming existing difficulties can we hope for Ukraine's restoration, prosperity, happiness, and stability. Therefore, the theoretical justification and practical activities of psychologists regarding children from internally displaced families to overcome negative phenomena and create favorable conditions in their lives are urgent and relevant.
