Description: Psychological First Aid (PFA) is a supportive intervention used to help individuals cope with emotional distress following crisis, disaster, or trauma. From a social work perspective, PFA emphasizes empathy, active listening, cultural sensitivity, and respect for individual dignity. Social workers provide immediate emotional support, ensure safety, connect affected persons with resources, and promote resilience without forcing disclosure. PFA focuses on reducing stress, stabilizing emotions, and restoring a sense of control. By addressing basic needs and strengthening coping skills, social workers play a vital role in helping individuals and communities recover from psychological shock and rebuild their well-being.
