Better You&Me Summer Retreat

The project Better You&Me 2.0 continues to change Ukrainians' attitudes towards their mental health in Sweden and is shaping a culture of caring for one's emotional well-being. This is something new for Ukrainians here. The retreat has become one of the favorite formats for Ukrainian women in the Västra Götaland region. In this way, they get their first experience of taking care of their mental health and see how it has a positive impact.

On the islands of the Gothenburg archipelago, far from the city and the hustle and bustle of everyday life, young women from Ukraine learn to work with their emotions, thoughts, and worries through bodywork (mindfulness) and creativity (art therapy). Like the rest of the Better You&Me 2.0 project's events, the retreat helps Ukrainians develop the habit of taking care of their mental health.

This is a significant contribution by Hug and our partners, the Church of Sweden and the Mats Paulsson Foundations, in shaping a healthy society in Sweden. Thank you, you are changing the lives of Ukrainian refugees in Sweden.
