HEAT SKILLS 2. PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT WEEK

Learn to manage stress, support others in crisis, and build lasting emotional well-being in high-pressure environment.

HDFF believes that mental health is an integral part of an individual’s life, particularly humanitarians as according to the World Health Organization (WHO), 22 percent of people who have experienced war or other conflicts have reported having mental health disorders, indicating the mental toll being in such situations can have on individuals. Beyond their personal mental well-being, humanitarians may also have to support those who were affected by the conflict and may exhibit acute stress reactions that can lead to long term mental health problems.

This masterclass is made up of three distinct courses so you can choose one that fits your needs or you can enroll in the entire week to get an all-encompassing view of psychosocial support and relevant skills.

The courses that make up this masterclass are the following:

“Handling Stress like a Pro” - 3th February

“Mindset and Mission: Building Mental Strength” - 4th February

“Psychological First Aid” - 5th to 6th February
