Mental Help Global is developing free, privacy-first, 24/7 AI-powered mental health support for soldiers, veterans, prisoners of war, and conflict-affected communities — built to reach where clinicians can't.
Our pilot program under development in Ukraine aims to address the mental health crisis affecting millions of people impacted by war, trauma, and displacement — supplementing one-on-one therapeutic care, not replacing it.
Our objective is a no-cost, no-barriers support tool — available to anyone, anywhere, at any time, including in low-connectivity environments.
Conversations are confidential, with data privacy and security as core design principles. Servers will be hosted locally within Ukraine.
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques, adapted with clinicians to each community we serve — being built to provide support in Ukrainian, russian, and English.
One of our core findings: there is no universal AI model that serves every user group without thoughtful adaptation. A police officer's needs differ from a combat soldier's, a POW's from a veteran's. We build for each.
Daily readiness check-ins, sleep and stress tools built for rotation life — offline-capable, five seconds a day.
Reintegration-focused support: isolation, purpose, connection — with peer channels of people who were there.
Specialized support developed with Ukraine's Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War.
The platform is being developed to extend accessible, evidence-based support to the broader civilian population.
MHG works in partnership with Ukrainian government institutions, adapting the platform to the realities of those who serve and protect.
"Effective AI support must be adapted to the people it is designed to serve. The practical needs of a police officer differ significantly from those of a combat soldier, a military medic, or a family member of a service member — their terminology, environments, and experiences all shape what support is most helpful."
Our clinical approach is developed by our therapy team together with therapists from our partner organizations, with continuous evaluation of the platform's behavior and knowledge base.
We work with the GUR POW Coordination Headquarters, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the National Police Academy's Mental Health Coordination Hub to ground the platform in the realities of those it serves.
