Psychological First Aid provides the learners with basic knowledge and skills in helping individuals affected by crises in life. The course covers signs of stress and different coping skills; and teaches the participants how to recognise signs of suicide thoughts. Getting trained in psychological first aid enables an individual to provide an emotional lift for someone in distress.

PFA is for anyone who wants to provide support to persons who are in distress due to crisis situations or stressful everyday situations, whether at home or work.
