“Everyone can help—but not all help is effective. Also, research and experience offer valuable insights on caring, showing that even small actions can make a big difference to people in distress. That’s why we created Spiritual First Aid. Our vision for this easy-to-understand course is to equip you with the basics of what we’ve learned after 25+ years in disaster relief work and after conducting over 50 research studies. We share our field-tested tools, real stories from the frontlines, and even our mistakes (so you can avoid them). You’ll walk away with the simple, practical tools you need to confidently help those around you. We hope this course encourages you as you prepare to encourage others."
