    Remote Psychological
    First Aid (R-PFA)
    What is it?
    WHAT IS
    PFA?
    Psychological first aid (PFA) is a method of helping people
    in distress so they feel calm and supported to cope better
    with their challenges. PFA helps normalize worry and
    other emotions. It also promotes healthy coping and
    provides feelings of safety, calming, and hope.

    PFA is based on the principles of care and empathy


    which are actualized by paying attention to reactions,
    active listening, and practical assistance (if needed).

    The current guidelines on remote PFA during the CoVid-


    19 oubreak are specific for adults.
