This two-day workshop enables participants to learn the fundamental principles of the MANERS Model of Psychosocial First Aid and how to apply them in the aftermath of a traumatic event. 

The aim of Psychosocial First Aid is to provide early and supportive interventions, which will assist people with the emotional distress that may result from their involvement in an accident, injury or sudden shocking event.
