Psychological First Aid/Post Traumatic Stress Management

City of Somerville Department of Health and Human Services

Please join us for a two day training offered through the Department of Health and Human Services by the Riverside Trauma Center.

The goal of this comprehensive 2-day training is to prepare participants to deliver basic behavioral health disaster response skills following large-scale disasters or critical incidents, such as homicides, suicides, accidental deaths, and similarly distressing events. Participants will be presented with the evolution of efforts to assist survivors following trauma, and provided with an overview of the human stress response and how it affects the choice of interventions used with distressed individuals. The 9-phase Posttraumatic Stress Management continuum and the 8 core functions of Psychological First Aid (PFA) will be discussed.Participants must register and attend both dates.
