Project Description
The School Counsellors’ Psychological First Aid for school (PFA- S) is a program that aims to improve school counsellors’ mental health knowledge and literacy via prevention, early intervention among children & adolescents following the COVID-19 pandemic. Psychological First Aid for Schools (PFA-S) is an evidence-informed intervention model to assist students, staff, and families in the immediate aftermath of an emergency and can be used by any trained staff member or community partner. Trauma-related distress can have a long-term impact. PFA-S uses brief interventions to produce positive results that last. Previous studies suggested that teachers (including school counsellors) should have greater awareness regarding depression among adolescents for early detection.
