Who are we?

This group is being established on the initiative of the Catalan Foundation for Mental Health Congress. For some time now, the FCCSM has been considering the possibility of creating a working group around these phenomena, especially following the attacks in Barcelona in August 2017.

Interdisciplinary discussion and reflection group, made up of professionals from health, mental health, community health, justice, education, and others. This is a working group based on the professional experience of its participants with phenomena directly or indirectly linked to radicalization, and whose work in each meeting will focus on a thematic axis. One of the group's objectives will be to develop thinking and tools to help confront increasingly frequent conflicts and problems (of violence?) in our society and in different areas.

In this first stage, several thematic axes are proposed around which to organize the working group's monthly meetings.

The idea is to work throughout this year and promote a conference at the end to present reflections, suggestions, and possible future proposals.

What are our goals?

  • Creation of a space for reflection and participation from all areas to enable thinking about a phenomenon that is difficult to think about and in the face of which we can quickly seek protocols to help contain anxiety.
  • To better understand the phenomenon through the professional experience of the group members, which, while perhaps not directly related to radicalization phenomena, can offer reflections and thoughts from their experience that can foster greater understanding.
  • Develop a task that can help raise awareness among professionals, entities, NGOs, associations, etc., about the importance of emotional support in the face of this phenomenon in order to create a strong social network.
