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.
