Emotional First Aid (EFA)
Subcommittee

Emotional First Aid  (EFA) Subcommittee Mission is to Alleviate suffering by teaching self-help techniques to those affected by violence, trauma and natural disasters. We believe that humans are naturally flexible and resilient; and given effective tools, information and support, can recover from disaster and adversity.

​

In our hope to foster confident outreach and meaningful service of that mission,  we have developed Emotional First-Aid trainings aimed at assisting communities and individuals and this website to assist those experiencing the effects of violence, trauma and natural disasters to help themselves and others.

​

Our Emotional First Aid training has been used extensively, in wildfire recovery in the U.S., veteran and first-responder communities, and during COVID-19 times, via Zoom.  It’s been successfully used internationally, for communities in Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, Nigeria, Rwanda, India, the UK and Europe. The training can be tailored to each audience, whether a town, school, church, a practice or corporate business, hospital, fire department, or a group of neighbors.
