dc.description.abstractThe National Child Traumatic Stress Network and the National Center for PTSD PFA, on which this guide is based, is an evidence-informed modular approach for assisting people in the immediate aftermath of disasters, terrorism, or other critical incidents to reduce initial distress and to foster both short- and long-term adaptive functioning. The version we are adapting was created by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network and the National Center for PTSD (Brymer et al., 2006) and has the consensus endorsement of experts in the field of disaster mental health. PFA is in use and has been disseminated by the American Red Cross, the American Psychological Association (APA), the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the World Health Organization (WHO), and many others. Because PFA is, in essence, a framework for providing a sense of safety, support, and comfort for a person, it provides helpful ideas in the CAC setting after critical incidents. Because the aim of PFA is the provision of support and comfort, it is not a clinical intervention. It includes, rather, very concrete problem-solving approaches, which means PFA-CAC can be applied by supervisors whether they have clinical training or not.
