University Master in European Studies (MAES)

MAES is an interdisciplinary and multilingual programme providing specialised training on the structure, functioning and policies of the European Union.

Thanks to a specific agreement with the University of Parma, upon completion of the MAES you will be able to achieve a UNIVERSITY MASTER qualification, by carrying out a traineeship and writing a thesis.

MAES features a combination of theoretical and practical training. The high number of lectures held by officials from EU Institutions will enable you to get first-hand knowledge of the way European policies are drafted and implemented.

Intervento Psicosociale e Salute Mentale nei Contesti Umanitari: Strategie di Assistenza per i Professionisti della Salute Mentale

Per Chi e Perché?

Il Master forma psicologi, psichiatri e professionisti della salute mentale capaci di intervenire con competenza, etica e sensibilità nei contesti umanitari e nei servizi territoriali dedicati alle persone in situazione di vulnerabilità.
In contesti segnati da traumi collettivi, catastrofi, migrazioni forzate e violenze sistemiche, la presa in carico psicologica non può basarsi su un approccio clinico standard. Richiede strumenti flessibili, competenze interculturali, capacità di valutazione rapida e la costruzione di relazioni di cura autentiche, profondamente umane e rispettose della complessità delle esperienze vissute.

Il Master consente quindi ai partecipanti di acquisire competenze altamente specializzate nella presa in carico psicologica e psicosociale in contesti di emergenza, con un’attenzione costante al benessere sia delle persone accompagnate sia degli operatori stessi.

Psychosocial Intervention and Mental Health in Humanitarian Contexts: Assistance Strategies for Mental Health Professionals

For Whom and Why?

The Master’s program trains psychologists, psychiatrists, and mental health professionals capable of intervening with competence, ethics, and sensitivity in humanitarian contexts and in community services dedicated to people in situations of vulnerability.
In contexts marked by collective trauma, disasters, forced migrations, and systemic violence, psychological care cannot rely on a standard clinical approach. It requires flexible tools, intercultural competencies, rapid assessment skills, and the ability to build authentic, deeply human, and respectful therapeutic relationships that recognize the complexity of individual experiences.

Thus, the Master’s program enables participants to acquire highly specialized skills in psychological and psychosocial care in emergency contexts, with constant attention to the well-being of both the people they support and the professionals themselves.
