Creating a Supportive, Trauma-Resilient Environment with Sarah Gaer.

Facing traumatic experiences can be overwhelming, but Psychological First Aid (PFA) provides crucial skills for organizations during their most difficult moments. Sarah W. Gaer presents a comprehensive PFA training program customized to suit your organization's needs, equipping you and your workforce to handle these critical situations with confidence and preparedness.

PFA is an internationally recognized, evidence-based approach that offers immediate emotional support to individuals affected by traumatic events—from personal crises to larger-scale situations like natural disasters and public health emergencies. PFA is based on a series of core principles, which include fostering a sense of safety, encouraging calm, nurturing self-efficacy, promoting connectedness, and instilling hope.
