The three-day programme starts today
On Tuesday, the University of Madras will launch a three-day training programme on offering psychological first aid (PFA).
The programme is open to students of affiliated colleges. The virtual event will be inaugurated by City Corporation Commissioner Gagandeep Singh Bedi.
“The course is aimed at frontline or essential workers and volunteers dealing with the public during the COVID-19 pandemic. You do not have to be a specialist to deliver PFA,” explained S. Thenmozhi, programme convener and head of the Department of Counselling Psychology. The programme will benefit healthcare and social-care staff, first responders, frontline public-sector staff, essential workers, volunteers, supervisors and managers.
