On October 10th, World Mental Health Day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine will unveil a new documentary film titled «Transformation 4.5.0» – focusing on the significance of transformation that arises from pain and leads to hope.
This was not merely a retreat – it was a journey: from despair and trauma to strength, from wounds to inner healing. A unique retreat organized by the Psychological Service of the Ministry allowed participants – veterans to take their first steps on the path to psychological recovery.
The film features true stories of individuals who have endured war and loss but have not lost themselves. They are learning to hear their hearts again, understand their needs, restore inner balance, and discover sources of joy in life. Each of them is a testament to courage, resilience, and strength.
The retreat's objective is to introduce participants to the experience of a psychotherapy group. This is a new approach within the Ministry, where a safe space for openness, support, and transformation has been created. The premiere will be on the Ministry's YouTube channel on October 10, 2025.
