Community-Based Psychological First Aid Workshop

The University of Mississippi Clinical-Disaster Research Center (UM-CDRC) specializes in community-based psychological first aid (CBPFA; analogous to medical first aid), with workshops offered conjointly with the support of the Psychological Services Center. CBPFA helps individuals to develop skills they can use in coping with the stress in their own lives, as well as stress in the lives of others. These skills include a knowledge of stress and extreme or overwhelming (traumatic) stress, effective active listening skills, and knowledge about how to help someone access other forms of psychological support if needed. For information about our CBPFA program, please contact Mikaela Raley or Jeff Pavlacic through the Psychological Services Center at (662) 915-7385.
