The purpose of the article is to identify important criteria for psychological support of victims of war.

The foreign experience of psychological support for civilian and military personnel in wartime is analysed.

The main factors that can affect children's development in a crisis include: stress and trauma; disruption of routines and routines; social isolation; lack of resources; limited access to education; and normalisation of fear and danger. Therefore, it is important to ensure support, safety and stability for children. Psychological assistance to military families includes principles that reflect the importance of an integrated and interactive approach to their psychological and social support. It is noted that for internally displaced persons, information support may be the most valuable, followed by instrumental and then emotional support.
