Children suffer the most from the impact of war, because they are very vulnerable and experiencing traumatic events during war can lead to serious psychological suffering.

The natural resources, including recreational and health, the available infrastructure of eco-complex "Perlyna Dzvinkova" of the Dzvinkove village, Kyiv region (Boyarska territorial community) were explored. The possibility of using this eco-complex and its adjacent territory as a health center for the rehabilitation needs of displaced children is substantiated. It was found that the area of the eco-complex has favorable natural resourcesand necessary infrastructure for the children's stay during the visit. This eco-complex provides the necessity for comfortable living, food, health and recreation for children. The main and specific features of psychotherapeutic work with children and adolescents as the main directions of the rehabilitation process were analyzed by authors.

The activities of the qualified staff of the "Questy Camp" children's camp and other participants of the charity program, which provide rest and rehabilitation for children of war, were analyzed. It was determined that the proposed range of events for children: various quests, outdoor activities, English language and acting lessons, various master classes are suitable for rehabilitative influence. It was indicated on the basis of practical experience that one of the most effective areas of psychological assistance in crisis situations are: therapy sessions with experienced psychologists, collective games, communication with animals, hippotherapy and horse riding, the opportunity to master the basics of sailing. The main consequences of the proposed services of each participant's of the charitable project in working with children affected by traumatic events are emphasized. It is summarized that as a result of various activities based on the ecocomplex "Perlyna Dzvinkova" and activities nearby, children's anxiety decreases, their psychological and emotional state raises, their attention improves, and their contact with each other also increases.

The obtained results allow us to state that the ecocomplex "Perlyna Dzvinkova" and the secondary participants of the project,who launched an initiative for the psychological rehabilitation of children aged 8 to 14 (who suffered from russian aggression on the Ukraine's territory)will allow providing rehabilitation and health services in wartime and the post-war period for migrant children.
