Psychological First Aid (PFA) — an evidence-informed modular approach to help children, adolescents, adults, and families in the immediate aftermath of disaster and terrorism. Designed to reduce initial distress and foster short- and long-term adaptive functioning and coping.
Based on the Psychological First Aid Learner Guide from ABC Training Solutions. Covers introduction and overview; preparing to deliver PFA; eight core actions (Contact and Engagement; Safety and Comfort; Stabilization; Information Gathering; Practical Assistance; Connection with Social Supports; Information on Coping; Linkage with Collaborative Services); and provider care.
Companion course: Perform Basic Life Support and First Aid Procedures (US 119567) — shortname first-aid. Physical first aid and Psychological First Aid complement each other; this course does not replace accredited first aid training.
Blended path: online knowledge → knowledge checks → practical / scenario application with ABC → evidence upload → certificate note on competence.
eLearning prepares for practical application. It does not replace organised disaster-response deployment, clinical mental health care, or issue a certificate on its own.
ABC branding only. No SAQA unit standard number is claimed for this course (none confirmed in the source guide).
