Resumen
En todo el mundo, los psicólogos individuales han intervenido para prestar servicios esenciales para abordar las secuelas sociales y emocionales de la pandemia del COVID-19. Muchas organizaciones psicológicas también han respondido a esta crisis de salud pública, aunque sus esfuerzos pueden ser menos reconocidos. Las organizaciones psicológicas que participaron en los esfuerzos de prevención y mitigación se dirigieron, entre otros, al público en general, a las comunidades locales y a los grupos de alto riesgo, como los proveedores de atención médica. Difundieron información sobre salud mental al público en general, formaron a personas no profesionales para que prestaran primeros auxilios psicológicos y utilizaron la investigación para diseñar y evaluar las respuestas de salud pública a la pandemia. En algunos países, las organizaciones psicológicas contribuyeron al diseño y la aplicación de políticas y prácticas de salud pública. La naturaleza de estas participaciones cambió a lo largo de la pandemia y evolucionó de reactiva a proactiva, de local a internacional. Varias cualidades parecen ser clave para el valor, el impacto y el éxito de estos esfuerzos. Entre ellas se encuentran la agilidad y la adaptabilidad organizativa, la capacidad de superar su inercia política y gestionar los conflictos, el reconocimiento de la necesidad de abordar las diferencias culturales y la asignación de recursos limitados a los grupos de alto riesgo y con escasos recursos donde más se necesitaban.
