The notion of (secondary)prevention of the Mental Health consequences after catastrophes today is based on the concept of Psycho-Social Assistance for Emergencies. It is known that the provision of community-based Psychosocial Support is the critical factor that influences in the reduction of the psychosocial consequences of disasters and that the capacities needed to accompany affected people are few and easily teachable, since there existmany techniques and little theory is required. Making it possible to give back to populationsthecapacity to cope healthily - although not without suffering -, with their own resources.Like that one can confront the effects of so many personal and community losses, as well as the many heavy interventions, poorly explained by political leaders. Through virtual workshops, with little investment of time (90 minutes) sharing -voluntarily- of knowledge and techniquesfrom SPS is described.In that way it is possible to enhance the resilience of an affected – not sick- population, and by that motivate for solidarity and a possible post-pandemic growth.
