Psychological first aid (PFA) is emerging as the crisis intervention of choice in the wake of critical incidents such as trauma and mass disaster. Earlier writings have focused on the application of PFA to individuals. This paper takes the next logical step and expands the application of PFA to the small group format. This paper represents an introduction to and overview of group psychological first aid. Rationale and basic procedures are discussed.

KEY WORDS: psychological first aid, group psychological first aid, group crisis intervention, disaster response
