PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT
Psychosocial Support for Humanitarians and Crisis-Responders
Making space to process what you've been carrying.
You’re used to being the strong one. The calm one. The one who keeps going. But just because you're resilient doesn't mean you're invincible. When you've experienced prolonged stress, loss, or crisis — especially in humanitarian and high-responsibility contexts — your system needs support, not pressure.
Psychosocial support is a dedicated, trauma-informed space to help you process what’s happened, what’s ongoing, and what it’s quietly costing you to keep functioning.
Support for burnout, trauma, stress, and moral fatigue
Why Psychosocial Support?
You may be:
Navigating a critical incident, field deployment, or traumatic exposure
Feeling the cumulative toll of moral distress, secondary trauma, or prolonged uncertainty
Supporting others in crisis while feeling overwhelmed yourself
Experiencing emotional, physical, or relational signs of burnout
Holding unprocessed grief, loss, or transition
Psychosocial support creates room to slow down, name what’s real, and reconnect to your own capacity — with care, not urgency.
Some clients also work with a coach alongside psychosocial support. Learn about individual coaching options.
What This Is (and Isn’t)
Psychosocial support at KRC is:
Non-clinical – Not therapy, diagnosis, or medical treatment
Trauma-informed – Grounded in safety, consent, and cultural humility
Relational – Held by a seasoned practitioner who understands humanitarian realities
Restorative – Focused on strengthening coping, integration, and resilience
This is not a performance space. You don’t have to show up with insight or productivity. You just have to show up — as you are.
Common Themes We Work With:
Acute or chronic stress
Burnout and moral injury
Team conflict or trust rupture
Critical incidents or traumatic events
Grief, loss, and ambiguous endings
Navigating power dynamics and institutional harm
Re-entry, transition, or disillusionment
What to Expect:
Initial Consultation (30 minutes) – to explore fit and needs
Sessions (60 minutes) – confidential, virtual, and paced with care
One-off or ongoing support – depending on your goals and context
Support for individuals or small groups – including critical incident debriefs or reflective team spaces

Who This Is For:
Humanitarians, aid workers, and peace-builders
Frontline responders and high-responsibility leaders
Staff exposed to distressing events, threats, or ongoing instability
Helpers who are struggling to “bounce back” the way they used to
Anyone ready to stop pushing through, and start processing
You don’t have to be in crisis to receive support. You just need a place to breathe, reflect, and feel human again.
You don’t have to carry this alone.

What Our Clients Say
“After the evacuation, everything felt disjointed — the work, our relationships, even my sense of self. These sessions helped me come back to my body, my voice, and my own pace.”
“I didn’t realize how much I was holding until I had a space to lay it down. These sessions helped me feel like myself again.”
“This wasn’t therapy, and it wasn’t coaching — it was something in between, something I didn’t know I needed. I felt heard, supported, and strengthened in a way that surprised me.”
“I had just come off a high-stress deployment and couldn’t focus, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t breathe properly. After a few sessions, the fog began to lift. I could finally process what I’d been through.”
“I was surprised how much relief came just from being in a group that understood — no backstory needed. Kate’s facilitation helped us reconnect not just to each other, but to ourselves.”
“After years of compounding stress and moral fatigue, I felt brittle and detached. The quiet care in this space allowed something in me to soften. That was the turning point.”
