Building Resilience. Creating new beginnings.
Psychosocial support for people who have lost everything because of war or disaster.
Fighting an invisible enemy
Everyone can see wounds, bandages and ambulances. But the psychological consequences experienced by survivors, refugees and people affected by war or disaster are far less visible—and often far more devastating.
Anyone who endures prolonged trauma is forced to navigate a world that no longer feels safe or meaningful. Their mind remains trapped in a constant state of perceived danger. And in all this, children pay the highest price, as they are the most vulnerable.
22% of people living in conflict-affected areas experience mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
More than 200 million people worldwide are living with mental health disorders linked to exposure to armed conflict.
More than one in three children living in war-affected areas shows symptoms of PTSD, with profound and long-lasting consequences.
We are psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, educational psychologists, social workers and sociologists. Together, we create supportive environments where suffering is not ignored, but recognised, embraced and transformed.
Resilience's work in crisis settings
Emergency Response
During emergencies, we activate three complementary and immediate lines of intervention to address the most urgent psychosocial needs.
Parenting
We help parents living in crisis settings better understand and respond to their children's developmental and emotional needs.
Mental Health
We provide training programmes that strengthen the capacity of frontline professionals to recognise and respond to mental health conditions.
Child Protection
We deliver psychosocial support and child protection interventions to reduce the impact of trauma on children and their families.
Trauma
Our training enables frontline workers to recognise the signs and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and provide appropriate support.
Staff Care
We provide ongoing psychological support services to humanitarian and frontline workers.
Where we work
Since 2009, we have been strengthening individual, family and community resilience, with a particular focus on training the professionals and frontline workers who serve in crisis settings. We believe that building local capacity is the key to delivering sustainable, culturally appropriate and truly effective interventions.
