The article is devoted to the problem of psychological support and legislative support for the rehabilitation of veterans who return to civilian life after participating in military operations.
In modern conditions, the issue of veteran rehabilitation is of particular importance, as it concerns not only physical recovery, but also psycho-emotional state, social adaptation, and ensuring legal guarantees.
The author analyzes the main challenges faced by veterans: post-traumatic stress disorder, difficulties in integrating into the civilian environment, the need for professional retraining and restoration of social ties.
Considerable attention has been paid to the role of psychological support as a key factor in successful rehabilitation, including individual counseling, group therapy, work with veterans' families, and the creation of psychosocial support programs.
A separate section of the article is devoted to the legislative support of the rehabilitation process, considering the current regulatory legal acts that regulate the social protection of veterans, as well as international experience in rehabilitation measures.
The author emphasizes the need to improve the legislative framework, in particular, harmonizing Ukrainian norms with European standards, expanding access to medical and psychological services, as well as creating effective mechanisms for monitoring the implementation of veterans' rights.
The article emphasizes the importance of an interdisciplinary approach that combines psychological, social and legal aspects. Such an approach allows for comprehensive support for veterans aimed at restoring their psycho-emotional state, improving their quality of life and integrating them into society. It is concluded that effective rehabilitation is possible only with close cooperation between state bodies, public organizations, psychologists and lawyers, as well as with the active participation of veterans themselves in the recovery process.
