Abstract

Background: During the war, social services faced new problems and challenges, so it is important to identify these changes and trace the external interaction of social services. Purpose: To analyze the interaction of state and non-state organizations during the war. Identify and explore the role of leaders in caring for their own employees. Methods: A content analysis of the materials of the websites of state and public organizations was carried out. Results: During the study of the materials of the sites, it was determined that the activities of many social services changed, especially non-state ones, and their interaction actively increased during the war. It was also determined that heads of public services pay little attention to the mental health of their employees. Conclusions: the conducted analysis allows us to draw conclusions that during the war the interaction of state and non-state social services increased. The problems and challenges they face in the conditions of war require a responsible and comprehensive approach to their solution, and therefore the interaction of state structures and public organizations is very important. In such difficult times, it is very important that management supports the psychological health of social workers, as their activities are very emotionally charged.
