The Emotional First Aid Tipsheet is a feminist-centered resource tailored for non-mental health professionals, including humanitarian workers, community organizers and feminist practitioners. Rooted in feminist principles, this tipsheet provides actionable tools for empathetic and effective responses while emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, boundary setting and emotional well-being for practitioners themselves.

Designed to bridge gaps in preparedness, the Emotional First Aid Tipsheet empower 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.
