Responding to a young person experiencing Psychological Distress with TAR3 Psychological First Aid

There have been many times in my role as a child and adolescent mental health nurse where other adults have said to me, “I just don’t know what to do to help”. In fact, this is the reason I developed the Coach 2 Cope: Psychological First Aid program which is based on my PhD research, and my clinical experience responding to thousands of young people experiencing distress.

I will coach you through a simple process called ‘TAR3 Psychological First Aid’ which will guide you on how to respond to your child or teen when they are not coping, to achieve a positive outcome. This program will also help you to support a young person to develop their vital skills of building coping, resilience and positive help-seeking behaviours.
