Psychological First Aid
The PFA Framework
Observe. Listen. Link.
Psychological First Aid is not therapy. It is a humane, supportive response to crew members experiencing distress — practical, respectful, and operationally appropriate.
Explore PFA GuideNotice signs of distress: withdrawal, irritability, poor sleep, loss of concentration, or emotional changes in crew members.
Approach calmly, validate feelings, and practice active listening without judgment. Create a psychologically safe space.
Connect the crew member to appropriate support — officer, welfare, medical, or company process — and follow up.
