SG Caregivers

A collaboration between Psychosocial Initiative (https://www.psychosocial-initiative.com/index.html) and SG Assist, (https://www.sgassist.com/) this initiative aims to equip volunteers and caregivers with the knowledge and skills to help someone who is in emotional anguish and anxiety. PFA is a technique based on the concept of human resilience. Its goal is to restore emotional balance and prevent the development of further psychological scar. This is done by attending to the emotional crisis and reducing its distress reactions. It is described by mental health experts as "acute intervention of choice". Your willingness to learn psychological first aid has the power to positively impact the lives of those who are struggling with trauma and crisis. By equipping yourself with these skills, you can be a source of comfort and support to those who need it most, and help them on their journey towards healing and resilience. Your efforts can make a real difference in the world. Register at: For 06 May session: https://forms.gle/yyv9E1FYHmFtVy1bA For 13 May session: https://forms.gle/6tE9DZdYwwCFkbY49
