Until recently, the market for support services in the context of a crisis was reserved exclusively for psychologists, crisis interventionists, psychotherapists.

...a few more words on the idea of Emergency First Aid...
Psychological first aid has been endorsed by leading international organizations such as the World Health Organization, the National Institute of Mental Health and the American Red Cross. PFA community education standards, are implemented in countries around the world, WHO lists a whole list of countries that implement this type of program.
We have completed a certified Psychological First Aid course, promoting the RAPID model which is a structured form of providing Psychological First Aid in a crisis. The RAPID model as one approach to psychological first aid is used and taught at Johns Hopkins Health Care Solutions in the US, among others.
The proposed Psychological Crisis First Aid course follows both the WHO guidelines and the RAPID method used in the US.
Where did the idea of Psychological First Aid come from?
The idea of Psychological First Aid (PFA) was born around 1940, but it has begun to grow significantly in recent years. So much so that in 2016, the regular Word Mental Health Day conference organized by the World Health Organization (WHO) was devoted entirely to the topic of Psychological First Aid available to everyone: Psychological First Aid for all. Supporting People in the Aftermath of Crisis Events. The WHO has also defined and published guidelines for PFA management.
The training follows the model recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO)
What specific model do we use?
We use the RAPID model, which we have greatly expanded, which indicates the five key steps provided in providing initial psychological assistance to a person in crisis:
R - Reflective listening - relationship building
A - Assessment of needs - assessment of needs and functioning
P - Prioritization - where to start, what is most important?
I - Intervention - aid plan and strategy
D - Disposition - what should happen after the intervention?
We have enriched the model with our many years of practical (crisis interventionists) and research experience in the fields of crisis psychology, psychotraumatology and crisis intervention.
An integral part of the model is also a module on how to take care of yourself and your psycho-physical-emotional well-being as a helper (before helping - during helping - after helping)
