More than 1,000 culture sector workers joined the "Introduction to First Psychological Aid" online webinar organized by the Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS).

"During the webinar, participants learned about human reactions to crisis events, familiarized themselves with the three key principles of action — 'Look. Listen. Link,' as well as approaches to preserving their own resources and self-help techniques," the URCS reported on Facebook on Friday.

Mental health and psychosocial support specialists from the Ukrainian Red Cross conducted the training. Participants analyzed real-life case studies to better understand how to support people in crisis situations. The event was attended by staff from libraries, cultural institutions, and arts organizations from various regions across the country.

The webinar was implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine as part of systematic efforts to develop support skills among professionals who work with people daily.
