Who are we?

The association entitled “GERMANOR” PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT PLATFORM FOR DISASTER RESPONSE was established on December 14, 2024, through its founding charter and was registered in the Regional Registry of Associations on March 7, 2025, as an independent, non-profit association. It was created by professors, students, and graduates from the Faculty of Psychology and Speech Therapy, as well as professionals from other disciplines.

Aims

To establish a platform that acts, both in the initial stages and during reconstruction, in catastrophes and disasters, offering “psychological first aid” (PFA).

• Specifically, to provide ongoing psychological and social assistance to those who have been affected by catastrophes and disasters, paying special attention to vulnerable populations (children adolescents, dependent elderly people, and differently abled people).
• To reduce as much as possible the psychological suffering of the most vulnerable populations by providing accompaniment, support, and stress coping techniques through cultural, sports, and leisure activities.
• To design activities and support social interventions that ensure the mental health of the affected population in order to discover future mental pathologies in the medium and long term. To monitor the severity of the pathology and refer it to professionals.
• To organize as many activities as necessary to meet the psychological needs of those who have been affected, both through immediate and preventive intervention.
• To offer affected communities the possibility of relying on PFAs volunteers to help with the regeneration and ongoing reconstruction of a “healthy sociocultural community” for as long as necessary.
• To arrange specialized training for professionals to provide adequate psychological care, both in emergencies and in the medium to long term, to those who have been affected by catastrophes and disasters.
• To stablish information networks and collect field information that allows for the identification of psychological, care and social support needs, both therapeutic and preventive. To provide information, if necessary, and help those who have been affected to access institutional services and assistance.
• To provide support to other entities assisting those who have been affected by catastrophes and disasters.
• To provide strategies and support to humanitarian workers and participants.
• To ensure a multicultural relations perspective.
• To promote community growth, reconnection with the land, and to foster a sense of security, through the collaboration of neighborhood agents.
  Promote sustainable development in the affected areas, encouraging biodiversity and respect for the environment through the recovery of traditional and local techniques.
• To meet any other needs identified in the aforementioned research and awareness-raising tasks already mentioned.
