• What is Psychological First Aid (PFA)?
PFA is an evidence-informed community model
training for social service providers. Trainees will
learn how to support healthy recovery in individuals
following a traumatic event, public health
emergency, natural disaster or personal crisis. The
curriculum integrates public health, community
health and individual psychology by drawing upon
skills the trainees probably already have.
• Participants will learn:
• The impact traumatic experiences can have
on individuals and how compassion fatigue
impacts front line staff and first responders
• The four elements of the PFA framework
and how to apply them to support someone
who has experienced a traumatic event
• How to recognize when an individual should
be referred to a mental health professional
The goal of PFA is to teach trainees how to reduce
distress and negative health behaviors by providing
practical help and promote resilience.
• Who should attend?
Anyone can attend! This training is for community
members or professionals, including community
volunteers, frontline staff, nonprofit workers, direct
service staff, community health workers and other
professionals.
