What is Psychological First Aid
Psychological First Aid can be provided at the time of an incident or in the days, months or even years following. It is not counselling or professional services and should be seen similarly to the actions of a person rendering First Aid for an illness or injury. An individual needs assessment determines if the first aider will render care themselves, or connect the ill/injured person with more advanced care.
