Abstract
Abstract. This article focuses on a program that aims to create a rehabilitative environment to assist adolescents in dealing with the aftermath of traumatic experiences caused by armed conflicts and to facilitate their post-traumatic growth. The paper offers theoretical support for a program that centers on establishing a specialized rehabilitation environment. The main objective is to notably diminish the adverse effects of psychological trauma on children and activate positive transformations in their personalities, serving as indicators of post-traumatic growth. The purpose of this article is to acquaint the psychological community with the main outcomes of implementing this program in the practical work of an extracurricular child institution. The program was designed for a specific target group, underwent practical testing, and demonstrated positive advancements in the psychological rehabilitation process of adolescents affected by armed conflicts.
