This project aims to improve the mental health and psychosocial well-being of individuals affected by the disaster. In particular, it seeks to prevent psychosocial hazards (PSH) among MRC employees and volunteers by implementing a structured action plan. After assessing needs and the context, a tailored support methodology is defined to develop an action plan. This includes initial training on PSH and stress management techniques, leadership workshops for managers, the establishment of support groups after traumatic interventions, and a regular supervision mechanism providing emotional support and ongoing training.
