Psychological First Aid (PFA) is a supportive intervention designed to help individuals cope with the emotional impact of traumatic events. It aims to reduce stress and promote adaptive functioning by providing immediate support, information, and resources. PFA is often used in disaster response, crisis situations, and after traumatic experiences to help individuals regain a sense of control and safety. The key components of PFA include active listening, offering practical assistance, and connecting individuals to further mental health resources if needed. It is not a form of therapy but rather a way to provide compassionate support during difficult times, helping individuals process their experiences and emotions.
