The Re-Construct project arose from the need to create a psychological support program due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although humanity has already been through several pandemics, today’s society hasn’t faced any and doesn’t know how to adapt its life to the situation.
The aim of the project is to help and facilitate the reconstruction of adult life in the family, professional and social spheres. To this end, a psychological intervention program will be designed for emergency situations (with appropriate adaptations also for a post-crisis period), which helps to reduce anxiety, foster initiative and the desire to rebuild a healthy life, help build confidence and security for decision-making situations and create mechanisms to prevent crisis situations in the areas of mental, physical, emotional and relational health.
One of the results of the project will be the Re-Construct app, through which adults can learn how to cope with crisis situations, how to minimize the psychological effects of a crisis (especially symptoms of anxiety and depression) and how to make rational decisions in situations of extreme stress. The app will accompany them over six months, with exercises, reminders and information materials. Another result is an online platform for professionals in the field of non-formal education with content to provide psychological help to young people facing crisis situations. By consulting this platform, professionals will know which topics are most relevant in each partner country and what their priority is.
