PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT
Psychosocial Support for Humanitarians can help you better restore, manage and protect your sense of wellbeing.
In focused, person-to-person care, psychosocial support addresses a combination of psychological aspects of human and social experiences and provides support in working through stressful situations, making sense of what is going on and gaining a sense of balance and clarity. Psychosocial Support creates a therapeutic space to cope with stressors, negative feelings and responses to distressing or traumatic events.
Psychosocial Support sessions are tailored specifically to the individual needs of the client and concentrate on improving their wellbeing by promoting positive coping and development.
