2019 Wilderness Risk Management Conference

Psychological First Aid (PFA) is a crucial first and ongoing step to mitigate stress injury (PTSD) formation following near miss and critical incidents in remote settings. This workshop is designed to equip program educators with responsibility in staff training to incorporate psychological first aid into staff education. Participants will leave equipped to integrate PFA modules into staff training, and to act as a local resource for support of near miss and traumatic stress in outdoor and international settings.
