This short guide includes basic recommendations for providing psychological first aid. It contains a structured, concise overview of the procedures for providing psychological first aid to people after a crisis event.
The guide is not specialized material for professional psychologists and can be used by individuals regardless of their profession. At the same time, we recommend taking a psychological first aid training course as a comprehensive preparation for providing psychological first aid.

Psychological resilience and life values, webinar. Access mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzdHO3SqHQk&ab_channel=OlenaMerzliakova
The webinar from the "CODEs of Resilience" series is dedicated to examining the "inner spring" of our psychological resilience - life values.
What relates to values and, conversely, what does not, and how values influence resilience.
During the webinar, several exercises for exploring one's own values were proposed: the "Life Spheres" Wheel, the "Compass" value-setting algorithm, and the "Target" technique for focusing on one's own values.
The webinar also introduces the art-therapeutic exercise "Tree of Resilience". A fragment of the discussion of the webinar material with its participants is also offered for viewing.
