FREE CHAPTER FROM THE BASIC TEXTBOOK ON MENTAL FIRST AID
On this page, you can get a free taster of The Handbook of Psychological First Aid. You can read the book’s foreword and prologue, and explore its contents and structure. A total of 23 pages as a gift for you.
No one goes through life – or working life – without encountering strain or crises. The need to deal with difficult situations has always existed, but today it has become even more pressing due to global crises, emerging threats and increasing complexity. This book equips you to understand, prevent and manage psychological crisis reactions – both your own and those of others – and shows how we can work together to strengthen a sense of safety and our ability to act when the unexpected happens.
“I cannot imagine a workplace where psychological first aid might not become necessary. Providing employees with a sense of safety and support before, during and after crises is a fundamental responsibility for any organisation – and from a socioeconomic perspective, it is a sound investment with a substantial return. This is a book that every business owner, health and safety organisation and employee – indeed, everyone in the workplace – should read.”

From book to course – or the other way around
The Handbook of Psychological First Aid forms the basis for the institute’s introductory course on the same subject. The Introductory Course in Mental First Aid is a “self-guided” course for staff and workplaces with high emotional demands.
