Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland Radosław Sikorski visited Lviv and toured the St. Leo the Great Mental Health Center, which supports people who have survived captivity and torture. This is the first center of its kind in Ukraine, operating within the UNBROKEN ecosystem.

The center was opened in May 2025 thanks to a €1.5 million grant from the Government of Flanders. The Investment and Projects Office of the Lviv City Council provided support in implementing this grant agreement.

The building, where Raphael Lemkin — the author of the term “genocide” — once lived and worked, has now become a modern mental health space without a hospital atmosphere. It features welcoming rooms, creative studios, art therapy, and professional psychological support. Here, both military personnel and civilians regain strength after captivity and severe emotional trauma.

During the visit, Radosław Sikorski toured the center, spoke with patients, and left an inscription on the wall:

“Honor and glory to the Heroes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Unbroken!”

“I have seen the wounds that war leaves behind. Healing them is difficult, so I thank each of you for not abandoning these people,” the Minister said.

Oleh Berezyuk, Head of Mental Health at UNBROKEN, emphasized that this center is a place where moral resilience is restored — the strength that helps individuals endure and recover after torture.

Lviv City Mayor Andriy Sadovyy noted that Sikorski has supported Ukraine since the first months of the war, personally delivering aid to the border.

Lviv continues to serve as a humanitarian hub where Ukrainians receive not only medical care but also crucial mental health support.
