This center has a long history of aiding family members of special military operation participants, having helped 573 such individuals, including 335 children and 238 legal representatives, in the past.
The rehabilitation process at the center is tailored to each child's needs, based on a comprehensive diagnosis that assesses their health and development.

During his recent visit to the center, Andrei Yarkov, a participant in the "Yakutia - Land of Heroes" project, shared his personal experiences. The center's staff and rehabilitation participants have been using their free time to weave camouflage nets for Yakutian fighters, with three such nets having already been sent to the special military operation zone.
In addition to the rehabilitation services, the center also offers creative master classes for the rehabilitation participants. For adult family members, psychological training sessions are held as part of the "Give Hope" project.
