The activity program of the centers includes group therapy sessions, meetings for people with similar life experiences, educational trainings, and various activities for children. Special attention is given to children's activities, which are conducted using elements of art therapy, fairy tale therapy, and play therapy under the guidance of qualified psychologists.

In addition, the centers provide individual and family consultations, as well as training under the UNICEF children's fund program "Parenting without Stress", which is aimed at supporting parents in difficult circumstances.

For the convenience of citizens, the Ministry of Social Policy has posted a complete list of addresses and contact details of all resilience centers on its official website.
