Stress First Aid for Healthcare Workers: A Peer Support Tool

Stress First Aid (SFA) is a peer support toolkit designed to preserve life, prevent further harm, and promote recovery. Stress First Aid offers a flexible menu of options for recognizing and addressing stress reactions. It can be used for self-care, to help co-workers with stress reactions, or to help someone seek other types of support. Stress First Aid is a framework of practical actions that can help reduce the likelihood that stress reactions will develop into more severe or long-term problems. Ideally everyone in an organization would learn the vocabulary and basics of Stress First Aid, to share a language and understanding of stress and stress injury. When everyone in an organization is trained in SFA, support could occur wherever and whenever it’s needed. Upon completion of Stress First Aid: A Peer Support Tool, you’ll be eligible for 9.00 credits (AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s), ANCC, Attendance, JA-Credit-AH) through the Duke University Health System Clinical Education and Professional Development Office.
