World Mental Health Day: Psychological First Aid Training
Thursday, October 12, 2023 – Friday, October 13, 2023
9:00 am – 10:30 am EDT/GMT-4 Online Event
9 AM New York l 3 PM Vienna
Psychological First Aid consists of two 90-minute online trainings that will help faculty and staff learn trauma-informed techniques that they can use to assist students or anyone in crisis. Participants will learn how to help "ground" a person in crisis while connecting them to appropriate resources.
The sessions are organized by OSUN's Civic Engagement Initiative and the Global Engagement Fellows and will be led by Adam Brown, Associate Professor of Psychology (Clinical) and Vice Provost for Research at the New School Global Trauma Lab. Dr. Brown focuses his research on the adaptation of mental health and psychosocial interventions that can be delivered globally by non-mental health professionals, and works closely with cross-sector partners to carry out this work. Additionally, he has extensive experience in the study of traumatic stress and the identification of factors that contribute to mental health risks and resilience.
