Psychological First Aid
In collaboration with the UCLA Center for Public Health and Disasters and the Los Angeles Unified School District, the National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement has developed a guidance document, Psychological First Aid. This resource is part of the “Listen, Protect, and Connect” series devoted to psychological first aid for children, parents and caregivers after natural disasters for use in international sites, especially developing countries.
The brochure has been translated in Mandarin for use in a National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement training arranged by Half the Sky in an area in China where an earthquake struck.
The National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement is grateful to Procter & Gamble, which provided partial support for the development of this brochure under its Live, Learn and Thrive initiative.
