Psychological support for humanitarians

GET SOME SUPPORT ONLINE DURING YOUR MISSION

One session at a time

As the mission is a world of its own, I offer humanitarian workers the opportunity to receive psychological support, online, one session at a time, adapted to your working conditions.

You commit to the scheduled session only. One session at a time.

We follow the here-and-now approach, focusing on the present time of the session.

While going for a mission or covering an event was your choice, you may be surprised by your emotions. Or the context has changed and you're facing a difficult time.

This is perfectly normal. It's part of the psychosocial risks at work.

It may take one to a few sessions to see things more clearly. A mid-term to long term support may be offered depending on your needs and what you're ready for.

You're dedicated to your work but still : you matter !

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOURSELF

The aftermath of the mission,

an in-between period

As there are some exceptional situations...working in conflict zones or collecting testimonies from victims.

While you were working efficiently during hard circumstances, focusing and fulfilling your tasks, being back home in a more relax context can allow your mind to process the non-sense or the violence of some situations you faced during the mission. Each of us has to face those questions in our own way.

This non-sense or violence could be related to the context, to what you saw, listened, or to what you survived. Some events you witnessed, some pictures, some sounds you experienced can leave a mark in your memory, within your body. It has nothing to do with your skills as a professional. How to deal with that ?
