Emergency psychology is the branch of psychology that deals with intervening in situations of distress, disasters, and emergencies or catastrophes. It is understood as crisis intervention for individuals or groups who have been affected by such situations that impact their emotional health.
How can we help those affected?
Just as an ambulance is called for a specific accident, in these types of crisis or catastrophe situations, professional attention must be sought to properly address the situation, not only for those directly affected but also for their family members or close associates.
At Eva Jiménez, Sanitary Psychology & Mindfulness, we assist people affected by these circumstances and accompany them through this difficult process they are facing: post-traumatic stress, offering safety and protection, psychological first aid, appropriate communication of bad news, help with losses, etc.
