Without Borders Holland has developed a full cycle of support for its volunteers. The main objectives are to prevent burn-out and trauma in volunteers in the field. Thus, before leaving on assignment, expatriates learn how to manage their stress. Upon their return, they are debriefed on emotional stress. In the event of post-traumatic stress syndrome or when there is a need for psychotherapy, a system of reference is available.
All information is kept confidential.
In the field, the Psycho-Social Care Unit trains and intervenes during critical and traumatic events. A team of one man and one woman can be in the field in 24 hours. We invite all the other sections of Doctors Without Borders to inform us on as regular a basis as possible a few lines describing their project. It addresses preventative aspects, intervention in the event of crisis and support for humanitarian workers. You are the visitor.
