Abstract: The study aimed to develop a model of adequate and timely psychological support for older people affected by military actions. The study showed that the examined are generally quite adaptable. So, the 60 - 74 age group was more flexible than the >75 age group. The analysis of the survey results of the older age group has indicated significant problems with professional training and staffing of medical and social assistance for the older people in the conditions that developed after the liberation of some Ukrainian territories and the country as a whole. The thematic training course in the medical and social staff training programs will improve the professional level of specialists in caring for older people, volunteers and family members. The online platform helps older people reduce their psychological burden and helps solve social and economic isolation problems as much as possible. A model of psychological support to older people in war conditions has been developed using a specialised online platform. The platform was created for online information and specialist consultations regarding the crisis in which older people found themselves during the war.
