PFA is an evidence-informed, supportive intervention for assisting individuals and families in the aftermath of disaster and other crises to reduce initial distress and to foster adaptive functioning. Principles and techniques of Psychological First Aid are consistent with research evidence on risk and resilience following trauma, applicable and practical in field settings, appropriate for developmental levels across the lifespan and culturally informed and delivered in a flexible manner. PFA does not assume that all survivors will develop mental health problems or long-term difficulties. Instead, it is based on an understanding that survivors will experience a broad range of early reactions. Some of these reactions will cause enough distress to interfere with adaptive coping, and recovery may be helped by support from compassionate and caring responders. While designed as a response to disasters, PFA skills can be used in a variety of situations requiring emergency interventions (e.g., accidents, fires, death of loved one, removal from home, etc.). In this simulation, participants will practice and role play the 8 Core Skills of Psychological First Aid. NOTE: The PFA – Lecture is required to participate in the PFA – Simulation. 1, 2, and 3 – Psychological First Aid (PFA) is an evidence-based intervention [#1] that addresses issues of crisis and disaster [#3] relevant to the participants and the communities in which they live. The 8 core skills of PFA will be discussed and role played in simulations [#2]. Simulations [#2] will include small and large group with application to real-world scenarios [#3].
