War does not only destroy homes — it erodes parents’ ability to feel stable enough to care for their children.

The resilience of children begins with the stability of the adults who care for them. In wartime, supporting families means far more than providing temporary relief — it means creating conditions where parents can regain confidence, rebuild routines, and continue caring for their children despite constant stress and uncertainty.

This is the foundation of Save Ukraine's “Confident Start” program, strengthened through the support of the Australian Embassy in Ukraine and the Direct Aid Program (DAP) within the project “Equipment for the ‘Confident Start’ program and the Winterization project.”

Thanks to this partnership, Save Ukraine created ten functional spaces designed to provide practical, community-based support for families. Parents now have access to educational coworking areas equipped with laptops and learning resources, while fully furnished kitchens host cooking workshops that help families strengthen everyday skills and reconnect with one another. Children can safely spend time in development-focused play areas or rest in dedicated sleeping rooms while their parents participate in training sessions or receive psychological support.

The project also helped respond to the everyday realities many vulnerable families face. Laundry and hygiene areas, family care rooms for babies, and spaces for psychological counseling have become part of a support system focused not only on crisis response, but on long-term family resilience.

At the same time, winterization equipment — including hybrid inverters, battery systems, and water storage solutions — strengthened the center’s ability to continue operating during blackouts and infrastructure disruptions.

This support is not simply about equipment. It is an investment in the capacity of Ukrainian families to remain strong for their children, even in the midst of war.

The Australian Government and the Australian Embassy in Ukraine remain dedicated to trust, solidarity, and partnership in helping families build safer and more stable futures for their children.

Seven Ukrainian mental health leaders were in Australia this month as part of an Australia Awards Fellowship hosted by STARTTS, which included a visit with DFAT staff.
The Fellowship is building these leaders’ skills, partnerships and trauma-informed care to support Ukraine’s recovery and resilience.
“I am very grateful for the opportunity to learn more about the mental health system in Australia. It’s a unique chance to gain experience from Australian professionals, which will be highly beneficial for Ukraine as it continues to develop mental health services. The program is very well balanced, combining both practical work and management perspectives, helping us understand how teams are organized and operate effectively” - Olena-Kvitoslava Yatskiv, Fellow.

Цього місяця семеро українських лідерів у сфері психічного здоров'я відвідали Австралію в рамках програми Australia Awards Fellowship, організованої STARTTS, яка включала візит до співробітників Міністерства закордонних справ та торгівлі Австралії (DFAT).

Програма стипендій спрямована на розвиток навичок цих лідерів, партнерських відносин та допомоги, що враховує травми, для підтримки відновлення та стійкості України.

«Я дуже вдячна за можливість дізнатися більше про систему психічного здоров'я в Австралії. Це унікальна можливість отримати досвід від австралійських фахівців, що буде дуже корисним для України, оскільки вона продовжує розвивати служби психічного здоров'я. Програма дуже добре збалансована, поєднуючи як практичну роботу, так і управлінські перспективи, допомагаючи нам зрозуміти, як команди організовані та ефективно працюють», – Олена-Квітослава Яцьків, стипендіатка.

Early Sunday morning, Russia launched one of its largest ever attacks on Ukraine's capital since the invasion began. At least four deaths, 87 injured and around 300 residential and commercial buildings, schools, and cultural landmarks across Kyiv damaged or destroyed. Standing alongside fellow diplomats amid the ruins, ’s Chargé d'affaires Katie McBryde witnessed firsthand the devastating human cost of Russia’s latest strikes.

Our thoughts are with all the victims, their families and all those who spent the night in fear. Australia remains unwavering in its support for Ukraine.

В неділю на світанку Росія здійснила одну з найбільших атак на столицю України з початку вторгнення. Щонайменше чотири людини загинули, 87 поранено, близько 300 житлових і комерційних будівель, шкіл і культурних пам'яток по всьому Києву пошкоджено або зруйновано. Тимчасова повірена у справах Австралії Кейті МакБрайд разом з колегами-дипломатами на власні очі побачила руйнівні наслідки останніх ударів Росії.

Наші думки з усіма жертвами, їхніми родинами та всіма тими, хто провів ніч у страху. #Австралія залишається непохитною у своїй підтримці України.

Посольство Австралії в Україні вітає всіх з міжнародним Днем вишиванки.

Кожна вишиванка – це не лише витвір мистецтва, але й символ історії регіону її походження. Вишиванка уособлює незламний дух українського народу, який вбирався у ці вишиті сорочки протягом століть.

У ці сповнені викликів часи культурна спадщина ниткою вишиванки єднає минуле, теперішнє та майбутнє України.

З днем вишиванки!
____

The Australian Embassy team wishes you all a happy international Vyshyvanka Day.

As well as a thing of beauty, each vyshyvanka tells the story of the region from which it came. But above all, the vyshyvanka speaks to the indomitable spirit of the Ukrainian people, who have been wearing these shirts for hundreds of years.

In these challenging times, the cultural heritage of vyshyvanka draws a thread that connects Ukraine’s past, present and future.

Happy Vyshyvanka Day!
