Due to the state of public calamity that significantly affects Rio Grande do Sul, intensifying social and mental suffering, the Brazilian Society of Psychology (SBP), in collaboration with the Coordination of the Psychology Area at CAPES and the APOIAR ONLINE Project (Psychological Care Individual and Group Clinic) at the Psychology Institute of the University of São Paulo (USP), offers virtual psychological care. This service aims to alleviate the suffering of the community that forms part of the 424 postgraduate programs at the 32 higher education institutions in the state. At APOIAR ONLINE, sheltered people are encouraged to seek appropriate community resources to overcome difficulties, as well as to value their potential in order to overcome difficulties, alleviate suffering and promote the search for meaning in life. The service consists of brief psychotherapy, with a limited number of sessions based on a detailed analysis of the reasons for seeking care, identified in the initial interviews. Reception at APOIAR ONLINE is completely free and carried out by volunteer psychologists, registered with the Federal Council of Psychology and enrolled in e-Psi, supervised by professors and doctors in Psychology. This service is aimed at students, teachers and education technicians from PPGs in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. To receive assistance, interested parties must write to the email address: apoiar@usp.br
