The mission and vision of the PS Centre

The overall objective of the International Federation Psychosocial Support Programme is to assist the   Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement to increase awareness regarding psychological reactions at a time of disaster or social disruption, to facilitate psychological and psychosocial support, to promote the restoration of community networks and coping mechanisms, and to enhance emotional assistance to staff and volunteers.


Within this framework, the mission of the PS Centre is to promote and enable psychosocial well-being of beneficiaries, humanitarian staff and volunteers. The long-term vision of the centre is to be the global centre of excellence within community-based psychosocial support.
