It will also give you information on how to approach a new situation safely for yourself and others, and not to cause harm by your actions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePsychological first aid (PFA) has been recommended by many international and national expert groups, including the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) and the Sphere Project. Psychological first aid is an alternative to psychological debriefing. In 2009, the World Health Organization's mhGAP Guidelines Development Group evaluated the evidence for psychological first aid and psychological debriefing. They concluded that psychological first aid, rather than psychological debriefing, should be offered to people in severe distress after being recently exposed to a traumatic event. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis guide was developed in order to have widely agreed upon psychological first aid materials for use in low- and middle-income countries. Endorsed by many international agencies, it reflects the emerging science and international consensus on how to support people in the immediate aftermath of extremely stressful events. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis guide for field workers is to be used together with \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePsychological First Aid: Facilitator's Manual for Orienting Field Workers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 8.7 x 6.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 30, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461333434546,"sku":"9789241548205","price":19.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/57a270ccf504a66f1ef5070644347ecb.webp?v=1778946813","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/psychological-first-aid-guide-for-field-workers-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
