The purpose of the Community Psychological Frist Aid is to provide a set of steps and actions to be used by responders, helping professionals, and lay persons to:
•Strengthen their own psychological resilience and that of their children,
•Enhance their capacity to recognize stress in adults and children and how people react to it
•Provide immediate support and introduce coping skills to neighbors, friends and members of their families and others by using psychological first aid.
By drawing on Red Cross expertise, this course can help families, friends, and neighbors provide better emotional support to one another in times of stress, crisis and disaster. Persons completing this course will be able to provide and teach community residents how to apply PFA to themselves, family members, friends and neighbors during times of distress.
