Psychological First Aid (PFA) Training (virtual)
Psychological First Aid (PFA) is a set of skills that helps disaster responders care for their clients, co-workers, families, friends, and neighbors. PFA has become the standard in helping others cope in times of crisis. Psychological First Aid (PFA) is an evidence-informed approach that is built on the concept of human resilience. PFA aims to reduce stress symptoms and assist in a healthy recovery following a traumatic event, natural disaster, public health emergency, or even a personal crisis.
As the centerpiece of many communities, public health, hospital and healthcare staff, county services, law enforcement, school staff, and other emergency service and community support providers are in a unique position to see and assist in monitoring the public during and after an event. As helping professionals, we are not immune from these events either and dealing with our own colleagues is stressful as well. PFA will add to the skills you already possess in effectively helping ourselves and others.
