Abstract

The article provides a theoretical justification and identifies the key features of the psychological and pedagogical support for developing psychologists’ readiness to work with children affected by war, based on systemic and integrative approaches. The relevance of the study is determined by the growing need for qualified psychological assistance to children who have experienced traumatic events and the lack of comprehensive models for preparing psychologists to work under conditions of military conflict and post-war crisis. The purpose of the study is to substantiate theoretically and define the main directions of psychological and pedagogical support for forming future psychologists’ professional readiness to interact with this category of children. The research objectives included: analyzing scientific concepts of psychologists’ readiness to work with traumatized children; summarizing international and national experience in preparing specialists; identifying psychological and age-related characteristics of war-affected children; defining the structural and functional components of readiness; and developing a model of psychological and pedagogical support integrating theoretical and practical knowledge. The methodological framework comprised theoretical analysis, synthesis, and generalization of scholarly sources, comparative analysis of international practices, systemic and structural functional approaches, as well as modeling. The study results demonstrate that psychological readiness includes a conscious attitude toward the professional role, strong motivation to help children and their families, emotional self-regulation skills, knowledge and competences in crisis counseling, art and play therapy, well-developed volitional qualities, and the ability to act under uncertainty. The proposed model of psychological and pedagogical support comprises six interconnected areas: diagnosing readiness levels, creating a trauma focused educational environment, participation in training programs, monitoring competence development dynamics, organizing practical training, and conducting educational and preventive activities within the professional community. The implementation of this model promotes the formation of professional identity, development of emotional resilience, prevention of professional burnout, and improvement of the quality of psychological support provided to children affected by war.
