CHARLY - preventive preparatory psychosocial emergency care

CHARLY, an innovative multimedia training platform, provides psychosocial support for mission and rescue forces. Used in preparatory training for missions, it provides psychosocial emergency care. It complements existing care and training units and helps to efficiently and sustainably increase the psychosocial resilience of mission forces with the aim of reducing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD).

Using CHARLY, soldiers and mission forces experience the connections between traumatic stress and their own stress reactions, they recognise the symptoms and effects of stress and learn how to cope with traumatic stress (self management). The platform helps to accept your own limits and promotes leaders’ understanding of work-related trauma.

CHARLY has been developed under commission from the German Armed Forces, the initial version is for the Explosive Ordnance Disposal forces.
