Psychosocial support volunteer teams comprise men and women from various age groups tasked with providing Psychological First Aid (PFA) during emergencies. They help restore mental well-being and offer social support networks to community members. Their main tasks include:
- Providing PFA, improving self-belief, building confidence, and restoring a sense of safety, especially among affected individuals;
- Protecting individuals from further mental harm;
- Linking people with specialized services and support if needed;
- Helping reestablish cultural and social customs and traditions;
- Providing support to colleagues and other service providers during disasters/emergencies;
- Contributing to the social and mental recovery of communities.
In times of peace, volunteers carry out many other activities under the supervision of program officers.
