The health crisis unleashed by the covid-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of Psychological First Aid. Tens of thousands of people around the world suddenly suffered the consequences of this virus, seriously affecting not only their physical health, but also their mental stability.

In fact, numerous studies conducted from 2021 onwards have determined that there has been a significant increase in the number of patients with depression or disorders associated to covid suffering in a protagonist or passive way, increasing, also, suicidal thoughts and cases of insomnia.
