2020 SUMMER INSET

Digital Learning Modality

Psychological First Aid (PFA) is a highly essential approach to assisting people who
are stressed, shocked, troubled, and enervated by dramatic events such as adversities,
catastrophes, public health emergency, pandemic, etc.
Dr. Liza Firestone in her article titled The Importance of Psychological First Aid in
Japan highlighted that PFA “does not require a professional to carry out the steps of care.
The process can be learned and employed by anyone who can make direct contact with
individuals affected by crisis.” ( https://www.psychalive.org/the-importance-of-psychological-first-aid-
in-japan/)

Reflecting on the videos,

1. Write a short essay on the insights that you have gained regarding PFA. Why must
teachers know how to conduct PFA? Why must PFA be conducted prior to the start
of classes?
2. Please answer directly below. Please observe the same alignment, spacing, font
style, and font size. You may (or may not put a title for your essay). There are no
limits as to the number of words, paragraphs, or pages. Thank you for sharing your
thoughts with us.
