Psychological first aid is a simple, yet powerful way of helping someone in distress. It is a form of helping that involves paying attention to the person’s reactions, active listening and if relevant, practical assistance to help address immediate problems and basic needs. Learning PFA skills and understanding reactions to crises empowers the helper not only to help others, but also to apply the same skills to their own crises.Live webinars hosted by BGSU Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider AllOne Health, designed to support the well-being and professional development of BGSU employees.
