Updated Psychological First Aid (PFA) Training Module

An updated training module from PFA is now available.

On 15 June, Public Health England (PHE) launched an updated Psychological First Aid (PFA) training module, aimed at all front-line and essential workers and volunteers.

The course teaches the key principles of giving psychological first aid in emergencies and aims to increase awareness and confidence to provide this support to people affected by Covid-19.

The course is free, and no previous qualifications are required. By the end of the course, outcomes will include:

• understanding how emergencies like the Covid-19 pandemic can affect us
• recognising people who may be at increased risk of distress
• understanding how to offer practical and emotional support.
