The Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health has received funding from UNICEF USA (UUSA) to support the development and dissemination of a culturally adapted Psychological First Aid (PFA) guide and online training course for COVID-19 frontline workers in American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities.
With this project, JHCIH continues work to support mental health in Native communities, an important endeavor that has only become more urgent during the COVID-19 pandemic. During a crisis such as this pandemic, the need for mental health support and care often outpaces the availability of services from licensed clinicians and health professionals.
