Psychological First Aid

Psychological First Aid (PFA) is an approach to support individuals in the aftermath of traumatic events. It focuses on providing immediate emotional support and helping people cope with their feelings and reactions. PFA involves listening actively, offering comfort, and connecting individuals to further resources if needed. It aims to reduce stress and promote resilience, helping those affected to regain a sense of control and security. PFA is not therapy but rather a way to ensure that people feel heard and supported during difficult times, fostering their recovery and well-being.
