About
The document describes Psychological First Aid (PFA) as a way to help students, staff, and families after emergencies. Any trained school staff can use PFA by listening, protecting routines, and connecting people with support. Helpful actions include offering comfort and basic needs without judging or making assumptions. It is important to train staff to notice signs of distress and lead by example. PFA does not replace professional mental health care; those needing more help should get extra support after an event.
