Providing professional psychological first aid in emergency situations

In emergency situations of a potentially traumatizing nature, it is important to provide professional psychological first aid for those affected and their relatives in order to protect their mental health. If you are regularly confronted with serious incidents in your job - for example as an emergency response worker - a course in emergency psychology could be very helpful. In the course, participants learn the right way to deal with people who have just received bad news or have been involved in an emergency situation. Various aspects are discussed:

  • Grief reactions and trauma processing
  • How bad news should be communicated
  • Intervention and action methods for dealing with potentially traumatized victims
  • Possibilities and limits of social and professional support
  • Support and conversation, communication
  • Handling in disaster situations
  • Suicidal tendencies, dealing with relatives
  • Blue light organizations
  • Self-protection, mental hygiene, empathy and fear

Psychological first aid courses are structured in a very practical way and also include many discussion rounds and practical exercises.

Further information on psychological first aid courses and specific courses offered by renowned educational institutions can be found on the comprehensive education portal Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch. Order free and non-binding information documents directly online.
