PSYCHOLOGICAL FIRST AID: July 30, 2024

Psychological First Aid (PFA) is a method of providing emotional support and assistance to individuals of any age or background immediately after a disaster. While students have unique characteristics and needs, PFA offers a flexible approach to addressing their basic needs during stressful situations. It equips educators with strategies to help students cope with pressing concerns in the days and weeks following a crisis.

This activity, facilitated by the Student Development Officer, was attended by elementary teachers and featured Ma’am Irene T. Alcantara as the keynote speaker. She emphasized the importance of Psychological First Aid in the workplace. The session aimed to train faculty members with the skills and knowledge to deliver immediate emotional and practical support to students affected by crises or traumatic events.
