Psychological ‘first aid’ strategies implemented by trained professionals could help people in the immediate aftermath of traumatic and tragic events, according to the Bahrain Red Crescent Society (BRCS).
BRCS health awareness committee head Muyssar Awadhalla recently conducted a Psychological First Aid (PFA) workshop to train volunteers and health workers on different strategies for administering the techniques.
“PFA is like emotional support, usually given to someone right after they go through crisis or traumatic situation such as an accident,” she told the GDN.
