“Me For Myself”: A Day Dedicated to Women’s Well-Being

In August, women in Rivne gathered for a special “Me For Myself” program focused on self-care, emotional well-being, and reconnecting with their own needs.

The day combined practical workshops and creative activities exploring women’s health, nutrition, hormonal balance, stress management, and emotional resilience. A psychotherapist helped participants recognize their inner critic and turn self-criticism into a source of support, while an art therapy session introduced simple techniques for calming the mind and managing stress.

The day ended with each woman identifying “one step toward myself”—a small act of care she could take that very day.

As participant Lidiia reflected: “I hope ‘Me For Myself’ becomes not only the name of a program, but a daily reminder to every woman that she matters—and that caring for herself is not selfishness, but an essential part of life.”
