Introduction.
The overcoming of consequences
of a crash on the Chernobyl atomic power plant remains to one of the main
goals of the people of Byelorussia and international charitable organizations.
The radioactive danger first of all damages a health of children. The
influence of radioactive elements on originating of some forms of a cancer
in childhood is officially installed, and height-dynamic of its number
is observed in our republic.
The doctors do very much for saving a life of falling ill children. But
influence on result of treatment render not only medicine, but also social
and psychological conditions in family of the sick child.
This major problem remains without attention of the experts now.
It's time to think how to help to family with the hardly sick child to
save psychological health of the parents and other children in a family.
The serious illnesses caused by radiation often give a physical inability
of the child, paralysis, violations of work of a liver, heart, brain and
other violations of health.
It is especially important to support family in the term of a beginning
of treatment and during rests in long-lived treatment, which some years
can last. During short rests (1-2 weeks) the family leaves home, there,
where the illness began, in the same social and psychological conditions.
About 40 % of the fathers abandoned family when a child was ill.
Possibility to give the specialized psychological and social help and
to organize the rehabilitational program at the rehabilitation Center
is a necessary condition of a further surviving of the child and is a
preventive measures of disintegration of a family.
The Byelorussian families with the seriously sick child do not have possibility
to receive the necessary long-term social - psychological help in sufficient
volume now. The state can not independently solve this actual problem,
the public organizations of our republic not have sufficient resources,
and therefore project managers ask about the help of the Lions
International.
