They face psychological difficulties such as anxiety, social isolation, and emotional exhaustion. It is essential to develop effective support methods to help this category of children adapt to difficult living conditions and minimize the negative consequences of martial law. Objective of the Study. To investigate the socio-psychological characteristics of military personnel’s children under martial law and to identify key methods of support. The study aims to assess the impact of stress and separation from parents on children's psychoemotional state and to justify the necessity of a comprehensive approach to their rehabilitation. Scientific Novelty. This research highlights understudied aspects of the impact of martial law on the psychological state of military personnel’s children. Specific support strategies have been proposed, including psychotherapeutic methods, educational programs, group support, and family interventions to facilitate their adaptation. Conclusions. Children of military personnel experience elevated levels of stress and emotional exhaustion, complicating their social adaptation. The development of comprehensive psychological and social support programs, including art therapy, individual and group counseling, and educational initiatives, is necessary. Implementing these methods will contribute to the harmonious development of children and their integration into society.
