Géna Benavente is a clinical psychologist with a Master's in clinical psychopathology and psychoanalytic psychology from Université Lyon 2, France. As the daughter of humanitarian workers, she spent seventeen years living across multiple countries (Uganda, Jordan, Niger, Soudan, DRC and Kenya), an experience that profoundly shaped her personality, her values, and her career path.

Growing up immersed in humanitarian realities sparked both her interest in psychotraumatology and her commitment to supporting the people who dedicate their lives to this work. She has been involved with CoCreate Humanity since 2022, first as an intern and contributor to the Hum'Animation project with the Gobelins school in Paris, and now as coordinator of an international team of 12 volunteer psychologists.

Géna brings together lived experience and clinical grounding in service of more humane support systems for humanitarian workers.
