Show Notes

Psychological First Aid (PFA) is an evidence-informed approach for assisting individuals who have experienced a traumatic event, crisis, or disaster. The goal of PFA is to provide emotional and practical support to people in distress, with the aim of reducing initial distress and promoting adaptive functioning and coping in the short-term aftermath of the event. PFA is typically provided by trained mental health professionals, but it can also be provided by non-mental health professionals, such as emergency responders, teachers, or volunteers. This episode explains the 8 core actions.
