Moroccan Red Crescent (CRM) - Psychosocial Support and Relief

Founded in 1957 and recognized as a public utility, the Moroccan Red Crescent serves as an auxiliary humanitarian institution to public authorities across health, social action, and disaster management. During emergencies, natural disasters, and critical incidents, the CRM mobilizes volunteer units trained in psychological first aid. These teams deliver compassionate listening, de-escalate emotional distress, and coordinate referrals for individuals exhibiting signs of severe acute stress or post-traumatic stress disorder to regional psychiatric services.
