MOTHERS’ CAMP

Since 2024, trained psycho-spiritual facilitators of the Foundation have provided support first at AGBU family camps, and since 2025 also at camps implemented in cooperation with AGBU and the Zinapah Foundation, supporting hundreds of mothers from different communities across Armenia.

When mothers rediscover their strength

Participants included mothers displaced from Artsakh, as well as mothers affected by war and different life difficulties. They were united by one shared desire: to rediscover inner strength, stability, and confidence in the future.

Around 1,000 people have participated in the programs implemented within this cooperation.

Why work with mothers?

Mothers are often the anchor of the family.

They carry not only their own experiences, but also the worries of the family, the concerns of their children, and the consequences of loss and change.

In many cases, mothers are the last ones who have time left for themselves.

Our experience shows that when a mother rediscovers her inner strength, positive changes also begin within the family.

That is why the program was created as a safe and supportive space where women can pause, listen to themselves, share their stories, and rediscover the inner resources that often remain unnoticed under the weight of everyday responsibilities.

Program goals

The program aims to help mothers:

  • recognize their strengths
  • restore inner balance
  • develop simple self-regulation skills
  • strengthen emotional resilience
  • feel the power of community and mutual support
  • look toward the future with greater confidence

Program results

The results showed exceptionally high levels of participant satisfaction:

  • 97.5% of participants said they need programs like this and would like to take part in similar initiatives in the future.
  • 100% of participants rated their experience positively.
  • 75% of participants said that during the program, they were able to see and recognize their strengths more clearly.
  • More than half of the participants were taking part in a psycho-spiritual support program of this kind for the first time.

What people say

These guided sessions became a turning point for me. They helped me understand my past and see my life story with new meaning. I realized that the story of our past is not only a story of loss and pain — it is also a story of strength.

Arusyak Grigoryan

I was able to speak about my pain and leave the sessions feeling spiritually lighter. In the group, I realized that I was not alone — and that I was much stronger than I had imagined. I began looking toward the future again.

Kristine Hakobjanyan

The format of the guided sessions was very meaningful. They helped me understand that no challenge can truly be transformed by giving up or losing touch with your inner strength. You need to change the quality of your life and the way you think.

Gayane Hovakimyan

“I realized that our pain is very similar. Together, we can overcome difficulties, emerge from the crisis, and look forward once again.”

Larisa Grigoryan

For me, learning to look forward became essential. We had been so focused on the past that we were not even trying to imagine the future. After these guided sessions, the way I see the future began to change

Hasmik Barseghyan

Because the sessions were held as a guided group meeting, it was powerful to feel that everyone understood you. Each person in the group had walked a similar path, and that shared understanding helped the journey of revival feel more natural, supported, and possible.

Marine Gabrielyan

During the guided sessions, we could see a real change in people. For many participants, inner tension softened, and we began communicating with each other more calmly, openly, and naturally.
