To educate and train individuals, groups

reactions.

TFA Motto
Prevent more, Treat less
What participants say about TFA
I urge all health care settings to consider TFA equally
important when developing their initial orientation
programs as well as their yearly updates such as infection
control, fire, safety, and CPR. RN, San Diego, CA
The training you provide in Trauma First Aide is a
breakthrough in treating emotional stress and trauma.

TFA lends itself to any situation, at any time. I can use the
TFA skills with my fellow soldiers, my family at home and
myself. Army Combat Medic, Ft. Hood, TX
Trauma First Aide is an integral part of my personal and
professional life. I use TFA in every session to help clients
settle and become present to their experience.

Basic Trauma First Aide (TFA) teaches

skills to reduce symptoms of acute
traumatic stress and to stabilize the
nervous system in urgent situations. TFA
skills help reduce trauma symptoms, giving
a greater sense of self-control.

TFA saves me so much time every day helping my students

settle down so they can get to their math studies.

Restoring Resilience
The focus of TFA is on
trauma
education,
early intervention and
the prevention of
secondary trauma by
building resilience in
the nervous system.
