Psychological First Aid Training
Psychological first aid is a counseling and emergency management concept and is a practice using non-intrusive and compassionate means to assist individuals in stressful situations. Psychological first aid is an integral approach to helping individuals affected by an emergency, disaster, or traumatic event. This practice can be used by anyone and does not require the person that is applying these concepts to have a counseling background. As part of the workshop, staff will learn how to help reduce initial distress, meet an individual’s current needs, and help individuals to feel safe.
