About Dr. Rafaela Santos

"I am a psychiatrist with a PhD in Neuroscience, president of the Humanae Foundation and promoter of two scientific societies registered in the Official College of Doctors of Madrid: the Spanish Institute of Resilience (IER) and the Spanish Society of Specialists in Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (SETEPT), both internationally recognised. I offer my knowledge and experience through the Humanae Foundation Programmes. I have been a lecturer at several universities and I am currently coordinating a postgraduate course in Neuroscience, Trauma and Resilience.

My interest in learning more about the brain has been a constant since I started medical school. I trained myself to live with trauma and thanks to these patients I have learned that suffering is part of the journey. I like life very much and my work even more: I was born to be a psychiatrist and through my practice I try to make people happy.

My first book on resilience, Stand Up and Fight, won the 2013 KnowSquare Award in the Best Business Book category. It is in its 4th edition and has also been published in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Peru. Other publications on resilience: the ebooks Tú también puedes (Spanish Resilience Institute) and ABCdario de Resiliencia (IER and Unifikas, 2016)".
