VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
Faced with the disasters caused by climate change that are happening more and more frequently and thinking about the surviving populations, we established our volunteer program to connect psychologists and other professionals with the people affected. The program is focused on mental health and its necessary professionals from PSYCHOLOGY and OTHER FIELDS to build a multidisciplinary team.
We are currently focused on the population of Rio Grande do Sul (in the strategic planning, registration, diagnosis and implementation phase) and on continuous work with the population of São Sebastião – SP with which we have been operating since the disaster in February 2023.
Considering post-traumatic stress, losses, grief and the main demands of affected individuals, our focus is on active listening and support for rebuilding the presumed world from individuals and collective strengthening through group and individual psychotherapy. PIER also has the support of a multidisciplinary integrative team while we will continue to articulate with the public and private protection network in the areas of health, social assistance, education and others.
Thank you for getting here.
