Support people in acute distress
Learn how to provide psychological first aid to people in acute distress using the Lifeline 3R model: Recognise, Respond and Refer.
This model is informed by a whole person approach, which is based on the understanding that people affected by crisis will experience a broad and diverse range of reactions encompassing emotional, social, physical, spiritual and psychological wellbeing. The whole person approach also recognises the social-ecological context in which individuals experience traumatic events, and the influence of community resilience and adaptive capacity.
Psychological first aid seeks to:
- Reduce the initial distress.
- Foster short and long-term adaptive functioning (build resilience).
- Minimise the risk of further harm.
