WHY?
What is Psychological First Aid:
Psychological first aid is a quick and effective response in emergencies to meet people's emotional, behavioral and cognitive needs. This intervention is done in case of post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression and other psychological reactions after stressful events where the person is likely to harm themselves or others. Psychological first aid is designed for emergency situations and is not a treatment for more serious psychological problems.

Psychological first aid training is a training that enables people who are not experts in psychology or medicine to learn how to help themselves and others by using the right communication skills when faced with urgent or psychologically challenging life events.
