Pyschosocial Support and Follow-up in emergency situations, the Mobile Intervention and Psychosocial Support Team: an innovative emergency system in Senegal - Diagne, Ibrahima; Petit, Véronique; Bousso, Abdoulaye; Dieng, Allé Baba; Sylla, Aida (International Journal of Advanced Multidisciplinary Research Studies, 2023)
This article reports on the process of creating an innovative emergency mechanism in Senegal, the Mobile Psychosocial Intervention and Support Team (EMIS), by recalling how in the early 2000s a tragedy shook the country and triggered reflection on psychosocial follow-up in a political context subject to the idiom of resilience. The creation of the EMIS seems paradoxical since it requires and valorizes competencies in psychology and psychiatry which in ordinary times are little supported by social and health policies.
