FAMILY ENVIRONMENT AS A FACTOR OF SUCCESSFUL SOCIALREHABILITATION OF PARTICIPANTS IN THE SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION

This paper is devoted to the analysis of the role of the family in the process of social rehabilitation of participants in the Special Military Operation (SMO). It is proved that the family is a critically important factor that can significantly accelerate the return of a SMO participant to civilian life. The key functions of the family are explored: creating psychological security, helping to overcome the consequences of trauma, facilitating the restoration of social ties, and forming a new civilian identity. Special attention is paid to the comprehensive work of the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation in providing rehabilitation assistance to SMO participants and their families, which makes the process of returning to peaceful life more effective and systematic.
