The article is devoted to the peculiarities of psychological rehabilitation of anti-terrorist operation/environmental protection veterans, the challenges facing the state in the process of returning combatants to a peaceful life. The input of the theoretical analysis of research in the field of psychological rehabilitation of ATO / OOS veterans in the context of state support states that a single program has not been developed. The purpose of the work is to determine certain areas of activity of state structures and international public organizations to provide psychological assistance to veterans of the ATO / OOS. To date, Ukraine has adopted a number of laws that determine the social and legal protection of servicemen and members of their families, as well as regulate the procedure for psychological rehabilitation. The Ministry of Veterans Affairs has developed programs based on foreign experience, as well as international charitable foundations to improve methods of psychological rehabilitation. Thus, in 2019, within the framework of the UNFPA Ukraine program, a pilot project of mobile brigades of social and psychological assistance to participants in the anti-terrorist operation / environmental protection and members of their families was launched, which showed a positive result. The main purpose of the mobile brigade was to identify and provide emergency and planned social and psychological assistance to participants in the ATO / OOS and their families. Among the main tasks of the mobile team were: ensuring the availability of social and psychological assistance to veterans who cannot overcome the crisis on their own or seek help; crisis and emergency intervention and support to veterans and their families in order to resolve the crisis; providing peer-to-peer services according to individual needs in order to improve the conditions of integration, socialization and overcoming difficult life circumstances. The results of the study show that state programs are developed taking into account both physical and psychological rehabilitation of ATO / OOS veterans, but there are problems in the field of individual work. The implementation of international experience and the organization of pilot projects to provide psychological assistance to veterans and their families contribute to overcoming this problem.
