Postwar Traumatic Stress Recovery And Healthcare For Families of Wounded and Deceased Soldiers.

"For Humanity" Charitable foundation, "After Matters" Foundation and "Maple Leafs" Armenian-Canadian clinic has launched a Pilot project - "Postwar Traumatic Stress Recovery And Healthcare For Families of Wounded and Deceased Soldiers".

Our mission is to lift and empower the families of wounded and deceased soldiers. Our purpose is to aid the often-overlooked post-war recovery of families directly impacted by the September 2020 war in Armenia. We provide immediate-term Postwar Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) recovery and mental healthcare as well as diagnostics and preventative medical treatment for PTSD associated escalation of chronic disease conditions. US based donors and Armenian-Canadian Maple Leafs Clinic initiated a pilot program in Ararat Province early 2021. The scope included over 400 beneficiaries comprised of 63% women (mostly mothers and wives of deceased or wounded soldiers) and 80% over the age of 40.

The program has proven effective and efficient. In 3 months and with just $40,000, we have:

  • Organized 35 visits to more than 20 villages
  • Treated 415 patients (260 women; 155 men)
  • Administered 203 psychotherapy sessions, including 25 psychiatric evaluations
  • Provided 494 ultrasound examinations, 193 ECG tests and 847 lab tests
  • Conducted 316 online consultations as part of ongoing treatment

The data and outcomes have demonstrated the clear impact of the program. We have helped:

  • Stabilize and aid recovery of the mental health for the wounded soldiers and impacted families allowing their return to a ‘normal’ life, avoiding on-going mental disorders and costs including suicides.
  • Prevent and treat acute exacerbations of chronic diseases caused by PTSD preventing future inpatient treatments, and consequently, high costs.
  • Ensure a transparent and high integrity monitoring process to evaluate the results and make necessary improvements to the program.
With the positive results of the pilot program in 1 region, we have established the template of implementation, which will serve as a foundation for the future expansion roadmap across other regions that are now calling on us for help. To ensure a sustainable development and expansion of the project and to amplify the longer-term success for all affected families across Armenia, we are opening the Foundation for selecting private and institutional donors.
