Війна несе за собою не лише фізичні рани, але й глибокі душевні травми тим, чиїх рідних і коханих забрала смерть на полі бою. Для жінок, які втратили своїх синів і чоловіків, шлях до психологічного одужання особливо складний і довготривалий. Саме тому так важливо підтримати їх і дати шанс відшукати нові сили жити далі. Для матерів, дружин та дітей загиблих воїнів – працівників Каметсталі такою підтримкою стала програма психологічної реабілітації «Незламна мама» від «Фонду Маша», до якої долучилася гуманітарна ініціатива Групи Метінвест «Рятуємо життя». Днями жінки повернулися у рідне Кам’янське з мальовничого Прикарпаття, де вони проходили реабілітацію у санаторії «Моршинський».Природа тамтешньої місцевості милувала око, а емоційним станом жінок опікувалися досвідчені психологи. Щоб повернути спокій у їхні душі, проводилися щоденні психологічні заняття – колективні та індивідуальні консультації. Важливу роль у реабілітаційному процесі кожної відігравало і спілкування з іншими жінками,
