Dealing with Stress and Anxiety During Infectious Disease Outbreaks

The program provides comprehensive training that combines theoretical and practical aspects, addressing practical techniques for managing stress and anxiety in individuals and teams, as well as methods for delivering initial psychological support during crises and emergencies. It also focuses on enhancing psychological resilience at both individual and community levels by building participants' capacities to adapt to pressures and develop positive responses. Furthermore, the program emphasizes the vital role played by local organizations as a central hub in promoting social cohesion and activating community-based psychological support initiatives to mitigate the psychological impacts arising from health crises. This program aims to empower field workers - from employees of local organizations, volunteer teams, and civil society institutions, in addition to health and non-health personnel - to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively address psychological pressures, fears, and anxiety resulting from the spread of infectious diseases.
