In 2013, Save the Children developed an approach called Psychological First Aid for Children (PFA for Children), based on the Psychological First Aid manuals issued by the World Health Organization (WHO), etc. PFA for Children is designed to reduce the initial distress of children caused by accidents, natural disasters and conflicts according to their stage of cognitive development.
Since 2014, Sony has been supporting Save the Children's training programs and public awareness activities, aiming to ensure that PFA for Children can be utilized by anyone when disasters occur to provide psychosocial support for children. Save the Children conducted the training 62 times in 2018, with a total of 9,106 participants from 2014 to the end of March 2019.
