In times of crisis, a calm presence, a listening ear, and the right response can make all the difference.

Last 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟲, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, the USI Peer Facilitators Group successfully conducted the 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗶𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 held at the USI Mini Theater.

The morning session began with warm welcomes, preliminaries, and engaging activities that set the tone for a meaningful day of learning. Participants were then guided through the Core 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗶𝗱 (𝗣𝗙𝗔) 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 led by Sir 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻 𝗗. 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀, 𝗥𝗣𝘀𝘆, 𝗥𝗣𝗺, 𝗟𝗣𝗧, 𝗖𝗛𝗥𝗔, 𝗚𝗠𝗕𝗣𝘀𝗦, where students explored the importance of providing immediate psychosocial support during crises and emergencies.

Through insightful discussions, role-playing activities, and an open forum, Peer Facilitators and Psychology students gained valuable knowledge on how empathy, presence, and proper response can help individuals experiencing distress.

This student-led initiative reflects a shared commitment to strengthening minds and building practical skills that can extend beyond the university and into the community.

📸 Here are some highlights from the morning session.

Following the insightful morning session, the afternoon segment of the Psychological First Aid Training: From University to Communities continued with engaging and practical activities at AVR-A.

Participants listened to inspiring messages and then moved forward to Community Session Planning, where groups collaborated to design materials and strategies for their upcoming community outreach. The session also featured a Mock Community Practice Run, allowing participants to apply what they had learned and simulate real-life facilitation in community settings.

The training concluded with a reflection and debriefing session, highlighting the importance of preparedness, empathy, and collective support in responding to individuals experiencing distress.

Through this initiative, the USI Peer Facilitators Group continues to empower students to become proactive advocates of mental health and psychosocial support in their communities.
