COVID-19 is pushing a lot of people to the breaking point--and beyond. And often the people closest to the person in trouble have to recognize the need and do what they can to help until professionals can intervene. It’s an idea called psychological first aid. Volunteers skilled in emergency response are offering free online lessons so anyone can learn this life-saving skill. COVID-19 has the potential to bring stress and heartbreak into every home. The deadly threat to physical health can wear down your mental health as you watch the virus strike family and friends. For several years a group called ICSAVE, formed of first responders and medical volunteers has offered free training in topics like emergency first aid and defense against mass shootings.
