Practical, Jargon Free, Professional

Even I didn't always say the right thing; more then once I really stuck my foot in my mouth!

   When I was a new crisis therapist I tried to calm an annoyed patient during an emergency by saying "I   know how you must feel". Did I feel stupid when the person shot back.....

"How the hell would you know how I feel ?"

   I was shocked and embarrassed, everyone was looking at me with disgust. I had expected my interventions  to calm the patient but instead he became more angry and the crisis worsened. He was right of course, I couldn't know exactly how he felt.

In a Crisis Situation Do You Sometimes...

  • Make comments that backfire ? 

  • Freeze and your mind goes blank ?

  • Say to much or too little ?

  • Say nothing because you are not sure what to say?

 

I made those mistakes too, but now I know much better!

Well thank goodness over the last 30 years as a crisis therapist and educator I have learned what to say and do that will calm people in stressful and emergency situations. 

Much of what I learned I learned the hard way. Now, I can save you that trial and error by  sharing with you the benefits of my many years in the field. 

 Give me three hours of your time and I will give you the benefits of my 30 years of experience

 

Let Virginia Duffy PhD, NPP, show you how to calm people in

 11 easy to read chapters,  packed with real life examples.

You can buy many books with theories, diagnoses, and psychological jargon. These books do not tell you exactly what to do or say in specific situations. That is NOT what you will get with Behavioral First Aid (BFA).

In this  practical guidebook, you will learn what I have discovered in my years of working with crises. I will give you specific examples of what to say and do in a variety of  emergencies and crises. See the look inside button below for a table of contents.

This is written in plain English not "psychobabble". 

Behavioral First Aid is packed with information and advice on managing emotions during crises, including  medical, and  psychiatric emergencies. It provides tips on how to take quick action, de-escalate volatile situations, decrease the risk of violence, prevent further crises, and ensure your personal safety.  

BFA specifically addresses how to deal with persons who are:

  • agitated

  • confused

  • angry 

  • fearful, anxious, in panic

  • suicidal

  • hysterical, malingering

  • under the influence of drugs and alcohol. 

Self care is an important part of every discussion in order to provide rescuers with  stress reduction ideas and help to prevent burnout and compassion fatigue.

BFA is invaluable for training and use on the job by professional caregivers. It will also be  helpful for anyone who may be called upon to deal with people who are upset .

 

Discover simple, proven, straightforward communication and calming strategies.

 Emergency service workers and all those who work with the public under stress will find these strategies invaluable in calming emotions, and preventing escalation.

Testimonials

“Virginia Duffy has compiled an outstanding resource to help professional rescuers—as well as infrequent and reluctant responders—understand and channel “emotional energies” during crises.”  “Despite the development and availability of superior technical emergency medical care resources, the outcome of emergencies is most often determined by the human factor. Emergencies produce emotions in patients, responders and bystanders. If responders are not well prepared to deal with the intense, often debilitating psychological effects when confronting a potentially life threatening event, the patient may not receive a second chance at life.”

 Frank J. Poliafico, RN , Executive Director , AED Instructor Foundation

A must read for emergency responders and an excellent review for all those in the mental health field. Clear and concise, I highly recommend it!
