Psychological First Aid Training Manual for Child Practitioners

Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS)

The Save the Children Psychological First Aid Training Manual for Child Practitioners is a set of skills and competences that help staff reduce the initial distress of children caused by accidents, natural disasters, conflicts and other critical incidents. Although the overall focus in this training manual is on children, the training also contains activities on how to communicate with parents and care-givers, as they are also likely to be affected by the crisis event or emergency. The manual also includes an optional day on stress management for staff. It can be delivered in any safe location, such as Save the Children Child Friendly Spaces, schools, Early Childhood Development centres or preschools, refugee camps, or at emergency sites.
