TRAINING OUTLINE
Psychological First Aid (PFA) is designed to be practical, flexible and modular in its approach and the first universal intervention with the Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) framework.
As an approach to helping people in the immediate aftermath of disasters, emergencies, crisis, accidents, assaults, trauma and stressful events PFA can assist in reducing initial distress if delivered in a non-judgemental and supportive manner. PFA can assist in helping people to cope in the hours, days and weeks following the situation and encourages them to access a range of other supports such as family, friends, community agencies and specialist services.
It is recommended as a proven approach and suitable modality for any staff member within the workplace who may come into contact with those who may be distressed. It is also suitable for volunteers and other community members who are supporting those affected after critical incidents.
