This Emotional First Aid tipsheet is a feminist-centred resource tailored for non-mental health professionals, including humanitarian workers, community organisers and feminist practioners. Rooted in feminist principles, the tipsheet provides actionable tools for empathetic and effective responses while emphasising the importance of self-awareness, boundary setting and emotional well-being for practioners themselves.
Designed to bridge gaps in preparedness, it empowers users to engage in collective emotional care with compassion and accountability. While this resource primarily focuses on supporting adult survivors, practitioners working with minors may need additional considerations. We encourage referring to child-specific safeguarding and trauma-informed resources for appropriate guidance.
