For many years, Gayane Andreasyan taught in different communities across Armenia, sharing her knowledge and experience with children and young people.
But after the war, much changed in her life and in the way she thought.
“Everything that happened changed my attitude toward life. I realized that I could no longer make plans. It felt as if even thinking about the future had become meaningless,” Gayane says.
After the war, she went through deep psychological, physical, and moral pain. Through her volunteer work, she saw directly the difficulties and losses people were facing, and this affected her inner world.
Over time, Gayane realized that she, too, needed support. That is how she decided to take part in the Foundation’s group support sessions.
“Attending the sessions became an interesting and meaningful experience. There, I began to discover my strengths and understand that difficulties are part of life — and that it is possible to overcome them.”
Gayane says the programs helped her look at life from a new perspective, become more aware of her inner state, and begin making changes.
“No problem can be solved by becoming weaker or giving up. We need to change our mindset, the quality of our life, and our attitude toward life.”
