How to Provide Psychological First Aid (PFA) across Borders
Conflicts and humanitarian crises have a profound impact on mental health and well-being, leaving millions in need of support. In these contexts, where access to Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Services (MHPSS) is often limited, diaspora communities play a critical role in offering remote Psychological First Aid (PFA) to family, friends, and broader networks in their countries of heritage.
In this session, you will:
- Learn about key Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) concepts.
- Learn the importance of self-care in effectively supporting others.
- Discover practical tools and techniques for providing PFA in culturally sensitive contexts.
