In AFS we face difficult situations every day and do not always know how to act and cope. It is common that even if you don’t have a Support role you end up receiving an email/phone call/text/visit (or all in a short matter of hours) from a crying participant, an angry sending father, a very frustrated host mother, or an experienced volunteer who just had enough. In this session we will provide you with an introduction to Psychological First Aid, which includes how to manage your own stress when dealing with the distressed.
