how we help

1

PSYCHOSOCIAL THERAPY

We provide free psychosocial support to people who sustain life in contexts of high emotional demand. Through our digital platform, we connect therapists specialized in high-intensity humanitarian and conflict-related experiences from different parts of the world with those in need of support. Each person can search for, get to know, and choose their therapist based on language, therapeutic approach, and specific needs.

2

ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT

We design conflict resolution, burnout prevention, compassionate leadership, and team-building programs for NGOs and organizations dedicated to the betterment of humanity and the planet. Through our platform, institutions gain access to methodologies, workshops, and reports with quantified results, enabling them to understand team dynamics and strengthen the long-term sustainability of their work.

3

educational programs

Educational courses and learning formats designed for parents and educators, as well as for children and young people. Our current course, “The World Against Our Children,” aims to provide essential tools to confront the threats and challenges of today’s world—marked by post-truth dynamics, cultural flattening, and media manipulation—all of which put the psycho-emotional integrity of future generations at risk.

4

Community workshops

We know that in this times the world hurts for many people, and that it is not always possible for us to provide free support to everyone. For this reason, we design open community workshops for those who are affected by the social and environmental context. These spaces offer psycho-emotional tools and resilience practices to help transform emotional overload into understanding, care, and sustainable action.

Who is this free support for?

This service is 100% free and is intended for individuals who meet certain criteria, defined through a clear and responsible evaluation methodology. We support people who:

  • Are actively involved in social, environmental, or humanitarian causes.

  • Have maintained sustained activity over the past 1–2 years.

  • Can provide basic verification of their work (organization, project, collective, or cause).

 

This methodology allows us to prioritize the most urgent cases and ensure an ethical and sustainable use of available resources.

More than 50% of people working in activism and humanitarian response experience symptoms of burnout.

Between 30% and 40% experience post-traumatic stress or vicarious trauma.

SECURITY PROTOCOLS

In addition to the careful curation of mental health professionals and life defenders selected as beneficiaries of our programs, the organization conducts a thorough application and acceptance process for all participants. Through the submission of official documentation, background and personal history reviews, as well as the request for references, we seek to ensure the highest standards of safety and integrity of purpose, in order to guarantee a space of full trust for all beneficiaries throughout their processes of healing and improvement.

 

CONFIDENTIALITY POLICIES

We ensure strict confidentiality of all therapeutic processes through the signing of confidentiality agreements. Additionally, we use high-security communication channels to protect the identities and locations of participants in our programs.

WHAT WE DO NOT DO

At this time, we do not have the infrastructure to provide emergency care, nor do we replace crisis services or psychiatric emergency support. If you find yourself in an emergency situation, we advise you to contact 911 and seek immediate assistance. What we currently offer is non-urgent psychological and psychosocial support for medium- and long-term processes.
