2025 Training Program: Psychological First Aid

14 April, 2025

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

This training is designed for art and cultural practitioners (including artists) from Asia, whose work is at the intersection of art and society. The program will help the practitioners, who are facilitators or organizers of art and cultural events/projects, to learn skills that they can use to help the people they work with to stabilize, ground and get support when they are dealing with the impact of emotionally challenging events. It will support participants to develop a life-skill in psychological first aid, which they can apply to supporting people they work with and their friends or family. It will also support participants to know themselves more and be better equipped to support their own emotional wellbeing.
