a complex and integrated concept that combines psychological and social aspects in the support process. It encompasses all interventions and activities aimed at promoting the mental health and social well-being of individuals and groups, and helping them adapt to stress, crises and challenging circumstances. Psychosocial support is based on the principle that people are also psychosocial beings, and that their psychological balance is inseparable from their network of social relationships and belonging to a community. One of its most significant features is that it is not limited to the provision of individual assistance, but extends to strengthening the capacity of families and communities to act as sources of protection and support by promoting positive connections, developing coping skills and restoring trust and hope. Psychosocial support includes various forms such as active listening and empathy, guidance and counselling, providing reliable information, creating a psychologically and socially safe environment and organising group activities that promote cohesion and solidarity. It also includes practical assistance, such as providing training and employment opportunities or facilitating access to basic services. Studies have confirmed that psychosocial support helps reduce the incidence of psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression, increases feelings of control and self-confidence, and increases the ability to adapt to crises, disasters and conflicts. Thus, this type of support serves as both a preventive and therapeutic basis aimed at restoring the psychological and social balance of the person. It is an effective tool for promoting mental health in society, especially in fragile environments prone to stress and humanitarian crises.
