☀️ We talk about the heat, but our pets can’t. Heat stress can escalate quickly, and knowing what to do in those first moments matters
If your pet overheats:
• Move them to a cool, shaded area immediately
• Apply cool (not ice-cold) water, avoid ice and don’t submerge the head
• Use a fan to help with cooling
• Monitor their temperature if possible, and stop cooling at 39.5°C
• Always bring them to a vet, even if they seem to recover
Early action can make a critical difference. Be prepared for more than just heat-related emergencies, register for our Cats and Dogs First Aid course at https://redcross.sg/get-trained/first-aid-and-resuscitation.html

😥 When individuals you support are experiencing emotional distress, how do you respond while maintaining professional boundaries?
Together with the NCSS Social Service Institute (SSI), we’re supporting social service practitioners by sharing practical skills that help them respond to distress while safeguarding their own wellbeing - Register here @ https://pfa-webinar.app.entry.gov.sg/form/d05b456d-53f0-45ee-b865-1ef47a060796
In this webinar, we’ll explore how Psychological First Aid (PFA) can support everyday social service practice.
Participants will gain insights into:
• How PFA is applied across different social service settings, from supporting seniors in eldercare contexts to assisting families in Family Service Centres
• Common challenges practitioners face when supporting distressed individuals, and how structured PFA approaches can strengthen confidence while maintaining appropriate boundaries
• What PFA is — and what it is not, to better align expectations on its role in practice
The session will also introduce the Psychological First Aid Plus (PFA+) programme, which further develops practical skills to support both service users and practitioners in the social service sector.

The webinar will be hosted by Ms Nurul Fadzilah, Curriculum Lead at the Centre for Psychosocial Resilience and Humanitarian Studies (CPRHS), Singapore Red Cross Academy, who will share her practical experience applying PFA across different settings.

In the spirit of International Women’s Day, we’re also highlighting the women who equip others with the skills to help
At the Singapore Red Cross Academy (SRCA), preparedness begins with people who are willing to share their knowledge, time and experience so that others can step forward with confidence
🩷 Michelle Seah started her journey as a youth volunteer. Today, as a Senior Instructor at SRCA, she trains individuals of all ages in practical first aid and life-saving skills, helping more people gain the confidence to respond when it matters most

🩷 Durga Naidu, who leads the Centre for Psychosocial Resilience and Humanitarian Studies, champions the importance of psychosocial preparedness. Through education and training, she helps individuals and organisations better understand how to support people facing stress, trauma and crisis
Together, they represent the many women at the Singapore Red Cross Academy who work behind the scenes to strengthen community readiness and resilience, and to advance conversations on how psychosocial safety can stand alongside physical safety.

We’re proud to see Michelle and Durga featured in World of Safety & Health Asia, contributing to these ongoing discussions

When is Psychological First Aid (PFA) the right approach? While therapy and PFA both play important roles, they serve different purposes
✅ Timing
PFA is given immediately after a distressing event.
Therapy happens later, often over multiple sessions.

✅ Purpose
PFA focuses on stabilising and supporting someone in the moment.
Therapy explores deeper issues and works toward long-term recovery.

✅ Who can do it
Anyone with basic PFA training can provide support.
Therapy should only be conducted by trained mental health professionals
Understanding the difference empowers us to respond with confidence, offering help in the moment without overstepping our role
If you would like to learn how to help others feel safe and supported during difficult moments, learn more with the Singapore Red Cross Academy @ https://redcross.sg/get-trained/psychosocial-resilience-humanitarian-studies.html

🤝 As part of Total Defence Day efforts, the Centre for Psychosocial Resilience & Humanitarian Studies (CPRHS) set up an outreach booth at Chongfu School in collaboration with the Red Cross Youth (RCY)
Through our interactive Kindness Tree activity, students shared messages of encouragement and simple acts of care they can show to others, reflecting how small actions can strengthen those around us
.
The activity provided a meaningful way to introduce psychosocial resilience concepts in an age-appropriate manner, while reinforcing the importance of looking out for one another in the spirit of Total Defence
.
Together, we continue to nurture resilience early, building a generation that understands collective responsibility and is ready to support their communities
