Quick access to psychological first aid to bystanders5.9.2023 10:05:00 CEST | Press release
When serious accidents occur, it is not only the injured persons who are affected. Often, the experience also deeply affects family, friends, acquaintances or bystanders. Witnessing an accident can have serious mental consequences for bystanders and relatives, so it is important that they get the right help quickly to prevent prolonged illness. At Falck, psychologists, paramedics and innovators have therefore developed a new initiative that gives bystanders direct access to psychological help. In Denmark, there are more than 200,000 cases of acute illness or injury each year that require an ambulance response. Relatives and bystanders play a crucial role during an accident: they call for help, provide first aid and take care of the patient until the ambulance arrives. During an accident, the help is naturally focused on the injured person, and there are limited resources for psychological first aid for bystanders and relatives. However, a study conducted by Falck shows that 24 percent
