ECONET Ukraine Presented Mentally.one at KyivPride Park 2026

On June 14, the team of NGO “ECONET Ukraine” joined KyivPride Park, presenting the Mentally.one project, which provides psychological support to young people in Ukraine.

Five representatives of the organization participated in the event and, over six hours, facilitated interactive activities aimed at supporting participants’ mental health and emotional wellbeing. The team conducted six art therapy support groups on the themes “Plasticine” and “Shell,” used metaphorical associative cards to help participants explore emotions and personal experiences, and provided group psychological consultations.

During KyivPride Park, which was attended by approximately 1,500 visitors, a total of 141 people visited the Mentally.one space and participated in our activities and group sessions.

For the Mentally.one team, participation in KyivPride Park was an important opportunity to create a safe space for communication, self-discovery, and psychological support. We are grateful to all participants for their trust, openness, and willingness to take care of their mental health.

It was particularly valuable that this year KyivPride Park received support from international partners and attracted representatives of diplomatic missions, international organizations, and civil society. Events such as this demonstrate the importance of respect for human rights, equality, and access to psychological support for all communities in Ukraine.
