Course Description:

Psychological First Aid (PFA) is a humane, supportive, and practical approach to help individuals cope with distress after a traumatic event, focusing on immediate needs and fostering resilience rather than providing long-term therapy

There are five key principles of PFA:

1) A sense of safety

2) Calming

3) A sense of self and community efficacy

4) Connectedness

5) Hope

When providing PFA, it's important to keep each of these principles in mind.
