Psychological First Aid Workshop

After being exposed to a critical incident or crisis, people will experience a range of reactions – physical, psychological, emotional.

This workshop provides participants with an understanding of Psychological First Aid and its application as a best practice response to recognising and responding to individuals post incident.

• The normal psychological, physical, and emotional reactions post critical incident or crisis.
• Practical application of the Psychological First Aid (PFA) model:
  1. Recognising an individual in distress post incident
  2. Responding to distress with a best practice approach
  3. Encouraging individuals to seek support for managing ongoing distress
• Self-care for responders after applying Psychological First Aid.

The session also includes a case study, co-designed with an organisation to ground participants in practical application.

There are no prerequisites for this workshop.
