What Is Psychological First Aid?

Definition

Psychological First Aid is a foundational element of crisis response and emergency support. It involves providing immediate support during emergencies including natural disasters, personal crises, community tragedies, and unexpected life events through coordinated rapid response and ongoing recovery assistance. Understanding psychological first aid is essential for individuals, families, and communities seeking healing, restoration, and lasting positive change.

Why It Matters

In the growing landscape of crisis response and emergency support, psychological first aid has emerged as a critical area of focus. The first 72 hours after a crisis are critical for intervention effectiveness, and communities with organized response capabilities recover faster and more completely. Individuals and families who lack access to proper psychological first aid face prolonged suffering, broken relationships, and diminished quality of life.
