Psychological First Aid (PFA) Training

We’re pleased to share an opportunity for staff working across our various programmes, to take part in Psychological First Aid (PFA) Training.

Date: Thursday, 19th November
Location: The Mill, Castletownroche, Co. Cork
Time: 10:00am – 1:30pm
Light lunch provided

What is Psychological First Aid?
Psychological First Aid (PFA) is a practical way of supporting and connecting people who may be experiencing distress or dealing with a difficult situation or crisis.

PFA is something everyone can learn and offer — it’s not just for professionals. Community workers, volunteers, first responders and members of the public can all use these skills. Many of us already use PFA skills in our everyday work without even realising it!

The training will explore how to:

• Recognise and assess a situation where someone may need support.
• Understand common reactions to crises and distress.
• Approach and communicate with someone who is struggling.
• Use active listening and help someone feel calmer.
• Provide emotional support and practical assistance without judgement.
• Identify immediate needs and connect people with appropriate support.

These are valuable skills for anyone working in our communities and supporting individuals and families through challenging circumstances.

Interested in attending?

Please contact Natasha by email at [email protected] to express your interest.
