Postvention - Psychological First Aid for School
School districts must prioritize training attendance for Psychological First Aid for Schools (PFA-S). This comprehensive approach emphasizes readiness for unexpected crises and stresses the proactive involvement of PFA-S teams across prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery phases. It is a compelling reminder for schools to elevate psychological first aid as a cornerstone of their safety strategies.
Psychological First Aid for Schools (PFA-S) teams offer essential support after crises like deaths, providing coping strategies, resources, and referrals to students, staff, and families. They follow district procedures and receive training based on resources like the National Child Traumatic Stress Network manual. The ultimate goal is to ensure students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.
