The objective of the brigades is to contribute to the strengthening of capacities and resources that promote the organization and participation of communities to face emergencies and disasters.
The initiative arose in 2001 to respond to the needs of the people and communities affected by the emergency and disaster generated after the natural phenomena that took place in the country. This project is still in force and has a team from the Department's USW Commission to carry out the proposed actions.

Systematizations
In coordination with the RSU area of the School of Psychology, at the beginning of each academic semester, Psychology professors are invited to voluntarily provide advice to student projects and/or any type of initiative with RSU character. Since its creation in 2020, the RSU Directory aims to facilitate contact between students PUCP and teachers of the Department of Psychology who, based on their experience, skills and professionalism, propose improvements and recommendations to various student projects.
The project aims to provide a space for exchange, dialogue and learning for psychologists who intervene in disaster and emergency contexts in Peru.
In 2023, the Psychological Brigades Project, with the collaboration of the National Board of Directors of the College of Psychologists of Peru, organized the First National Meeting of Psychological Intervention in Emergencies and Disasters, which brought together national and international psychology professionals, generating an enriching exchange of experiences, interventions and research in the context of emergencies in the face of natural phenomena. Due to the success of this initiative, a second edition was planned for the year 2024.
The objective of the project is to offer a space for meeting, dialogue and reflection on professional work among diverse social actors belonging to groups and institutions that intervene in the mental health problems of individuals, groups and populations in our country. Since 2003, in collaboration with the Mental Health Working Group of the National Human Rights Coordinator, the Community Mental Health Meeting (ESMC) brings together actors from academia, the State and civil society to exchange experiences in mental health work under a community approach and in response to the current context of the country.
As of 2020, the Peruvian Association of Expressive Arts (APDARE) has joined the ESMC organization in order to generate a creative space for dialogue and reflection through the expressive arts in group work in the virtual modality. Thus, at present, the ESMC is carried out in a hybrid way thanks to the RSU Commission, the GTSM and APDARE.

Since 2020, every semester through social networks, an academic guide RSU is disseminated with the aim of providing a series of recommendations for the incorporation of the RSU Approach in the classes and research of Psychology professors. Thus, it seeks to facilitate the teaching work in thesis advising, student initiatives and classes taught.
Since 2022, as part of the initiatives generated to promote the wellbeing and mental health of the community PUCP, the Psychological Support Line for administrative personnel PUCP was designed. This initiative was developed in coordination with the Welfare Office of the Human Talent and Management Office (DGTH) and was based on the model of the Psychological Support Service for teachers PUCP.
The purpose of this manual is to guide the coordinators of the Psychological Brigades, authorities of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP), members of the University Social Responsibility Commission (RSU) and administrative staff of the Psychology Department in maintaining an organized and productive work environment. It also provides clear procedures to ensure the efficient functioning of the project, in accordance with the RSU policies of the PUCP, and serves as a reference for any questions that brigadistas, teachers, students or graduates of Psychology may have PUCP.
Since 2020 and as a result of the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Psychological Support Service for Teachers PUCP was created in coordination with the area of Teachers' Welfare of the Academic Direction of the Faculty (DAP). The objective of the project is to accompany teachers under a brief psychological care approach and promote the care of their emotional wellbeing. It is a free service offered by PUCP and is supported by the RSU Committee of Psychology.
