The Trauma First Aide® course is taught by the FHE-Trauma Outreach Program. Trauma First Aide® is a short course designed to teach skills that reduce and/or prevent symptoms of traumatic stress within a single treatment setting and/or emergency setting. The overall goal of the field training is to increase the capacity of the local service providers to treat trauma within their own communities and to help trauma survivors heal and return to productive lives after a disaster. Building capacity is an investment in the future. Currently, TOP is teaching Trauma First Aide® classes to health providers in New Orleans and Baton Rouge in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina.
