On October 10, World Mental Health Day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine will present a new documentary film «Transformation 4.5.0» – a journey from pain to hope.
This was not just a retreat – it was a journey: from loss and trauma to newfound strength, from wounds to healing. A unique retreat organized by the psychological service of the Ministry provided veterans the opportunity to take the first steps towards psychological recovery.
The film features real stories of people who have endured war, pain, and loss, yet have not lost themselves. They are learning to hear themselves anew, understand their needs, restore inner balance, and discover sources of life’s joy. Each of them is a living story of courage, resilience, and strength.
The goal of the retreat is to introduce participants to the experience of a psychotherapy group. This is a new approach within the Ministry of Internal Affairs, where a safe space for openness, support, and transformation has been created. The premiere on the department's YouTube channel will take place on October 10, 2025.
