Rating Group and UNICEF Ukraine have published the results of a joint large-scale study on the mental health of Ukrainians. "Mind frames" is a unique project within the framework of the All-Ukrainian mental health program "How are you?" (an initiative of First Lady Olena Zelenska).

The research part was carried out by the Research Laboratory Rating Lab. The team developed a special methodology and surveyed five target audiences at once: parents of children aged 0-9; children aged 10-17 and their parents; young people aged 18-25 and other adults. The special methodology allows you to compare the answers of parents and their children.

According to the results, about half of Ukrainians have high or elevated levels of stress. The study also demonstrates how important strong relationships between parents and children, caring, and shared hobbies are for mental health. These are essential factors in adapting to stress, especially in wartime.

"Mental health is the foundation of every child's well-being. This research reveals not only the importance of loving and engaging caregivers but how parenthood can improve adults' resilience, helping the family to better cope with the stress of living through wartime. There is an urgent need to support families through access to quality social services and resources for their mental well-being, regardless of their life circumstances, and wherever they live," - Shameza Abdulla, UNICEF Representative (a.i.) to Ukraine (as cited on the UNICEF website)

"Mind Frames" also became one of the largest projects of Rating Group/Rating Lab.
