Psychological First Aid (PFA) Online Free
National Child Traumatic Stress Network (SAMHSA-funded; jointly coordinated by UCLA and Duke University) · course-with-ce
A free 5-hour interactive course in the evidence-informed approach to supporting people immediately after a disaster or critical incident; the NCTSN Learning Center that hosts it states plainly that it offers FREE continuing education credits. The common misunderstanding: PFA is not counselling or therapy and does not license you to treat anyone — it is structured, non-clinical immediate support, which is precisely why it can be taught to volunteers for free.
✓ NCTSN Learning Center continuing education; PFA is the model used by disaster-response and school crisis teams, recognised in behavioural-health and emergency-response settings
