Psychologists from Oplich HUB held an interesting event for Zaporizhzhia residents. Love should bring happiness, not depressing feelings. And it is important for each of us to understand when relationships become destructive or disruptive. This issue was discussed at the training "Love or Fear?" at Oplich HUB. Oplich HUB was established by the UN Global Compact in Ukraine as part of the Mental Help project and with the support of Metinvest Group's humanitarian initiative Saving Lives in response to an internal demand from society to take care of mental health. "Often, it is relationships – with a partner, parents, relatives - that become a kind of trigger, causing emotional discomfort. And our goal with these trainings is to give people as much information as possible about what psychological abuse is, how to recognise it, and how to get out of relationships that become destructive. So that they take care of themselves and their well-being – physical and mental – and are able to ident

To teach line managers how to deal with such difficult challenges, Kamet-Steel has implemented the Leadership in Time of War training programme introduced by Metinvest Group.The Supportive Leadership Development Programme for line managers is issued to answer to the most critical issues that arise in work teams under the influence of war.

It is necessary to remain a responsible leader in order to build communications with employees, including those mobilised and internally displaced employees who have experienced the traumatic experience of war.

Andriy Myronov, an electrician at Northern GOK's Networks and Substations Department, is one of the veterans who had no intention of returning to civilian life until the end of the war but had to do so because of his injuries. Today, he has returned to his team, but he does not rule out that, if necessary, he will support his brothers-in-arms and return to military life. Андрій Миронов Enemy attacks and shelling, trenches and cold, painful losses and constant danger. Andriy Myronov returned to his native plant with such war experience behind him. The combat geography of the Northern GOK employee covered Kramatorsk and the outskirts of Bakhmut for six months at the front. Andriy asked to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine himself: the father of three sons stormed the military recruitment office several times since February 2022 until he was finally sent to military training.

For more than 20 years, Natalia Fomina has been working at Ingulets GOK in the function for performing current and major repairs. A real specialist is well-versed in how to put everything in order. Her hands are not afraid of work, and she is also quite skilled in sewing. With the beginning of the full-scale war, the woman showed her will to help the defenders, which she continues doing to this day.The feelings and emotions of the first days and months of full-scale aggression are still quite fresh in our memory. A rush to buy essential goods, broken logistics, disrupted supplies of necessary products, and a shortage of gear for defenders. At that time, the words “plate carrier”, “helmet”, “load bearing vest” quickly burst into our recently peaceful life. Natalia Fomina did not think for a long time about how to be useful in difficult times, but immediately sat at the sewing machine.
