No advanced training in psychology is needed to use it. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eInjuries from disasters, terrorist events, and civil unrest are not just physical. These events also cause psychological trauma that can do lasting damage. Psychological First Aid (PFA) draws on human resilience and aims to reduce stress systems and help those affected recover. It is not professional psychotherapy, and those providing this kind of aid do not need a degree to help. Gerard Jacobs has developed this community-based method of delivering PFA over 20 years and has taught it in over 30 countries. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAlong with the easy-to-follow method, Jacobs includes examples of how this works in action in different situations, and presents scenarios to practice. Unique in its approach of community engagement to train community members to help each other, this guide is an excellent resource for local emergency managers to engage in whole community emergency management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eChapter 1:  What is Community-Based Psychological First Aid, and What It Is Not\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Providing PFA\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Traumatic Stress\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: The Stress of Disasters \u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: The Stress of Terrorist Events\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: The Stress of Civil Unrest\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: Individual Differences in Responses to Stress \u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: Active Listening\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: Problem Solving\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10: Coping With Stress\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11: Providing Instrumental (Practical) Assistance\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12: Loss and Grieving\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13: When and How to Refer\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14: Privacy and Ethical Considerations\u003cbr\u003eChapter 15: Taking Care of Yourself While You Support Others\u003cbr\u003eChapter 16: Children and Traumatic Stress \u003cbr\u003eChapter 17: Vulnerable Adult Populations and Traumatic Stress\u003cbr\u003eChapter 18: Closing Thoughts\u003cbr\u003eAppendix: Community-Based Adaptation of PFA\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Natural disasters [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Natural disasters\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Natural%20disasters%20%5BRNR%5D%22\"\u003eRNR\u003c\/a\u003e], Psychology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Psychology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Psychology%20%5BJM%5D%22\"\u003eJM\u003c\/a\u003e], Social impact of disasters [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Social impact of disasters\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Social%20impact%20of%20disasters%20%5BJFFC%5D%22\"\u003eJFFC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Butterworth-Heinemann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648887050520,"sku":"9780128042922","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780128042922.jpg?v=1694094793","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/community-based-psychological-first-aid-a-practical-guide-to-helping-individuals-and-communities-during-difficult-times-paperback-9780128042922","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
