🌿 Psychological First Aid & Volunteer Training Programme Successfully Conducted 🌿

I recently conducted an essential Psychological First Aid (PFA) training programme to support communities affected by recent disasters. The session focused on building the capacity of volunteer teachers who visit shelter camps and work closely with displaced families.

During the programme, participants learned:
✨ Core principles of PFA – ensuring safety, providing comfort, stabilising distressed individuals, and connecting them with support.
✨ Effective communication techniques for engaging with disaster-affected clients.
✨ Relaxation training – practical breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and simple stress-relief activities that volunteers can teach clients in shelter camps.
✨ Activity-based interventions to help children, adults, and older persons cope with fear, worry, and loss.

This training aimed to strengthen community resilience and ensure that our frontline volunteers feel confident and prepared to offer immediate emotional support.

I am grateful to all participants for their dedication and compassion. Together, we can help rebuild hope and wellbeing. 💚
