No advanced training in psychology is needed to use it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInjuries from disasters, terrorist events, and civil unrest are not just physical. These events also cause psychological trauma that can do lasting damage. Psychological First Aid (PFA) draws on human resilience and aims to reduce stress systems and help those affected recover. It is not professional psychotherapy, and those providing this kind of aid do not need a degree to help. Gerard Jacobs has developed this community-based method of delivering PFA over 20 years and has taught it in over 30 countries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong with the easy-to-follow method, Jacobs includes examples of how this works in action in different situations, and presents scenarios to practice.
