Disasters don’t just cause physical damage—they leave deep emotional and spiritual wounds. If you serve on EMI's disaster response team and want to be better equipped to care for people in crisis, join us for a 6-session Spiritual First Aid (SFA) Certification Course, starting March 2026.
Spiritual First Aid equips responders with practical, peer-to-peer tools to provide immediate spiritual and emotional care in high-stress, post-disaster environments. You’ll learn how to recognize signs of distress, offer compassionate support, and walk alongside survivors and fellow responders with confidence and wisdom.
Course options include:
- An online, facilitated group course with guided discussion and peer learning
- A self-paced online course you can complete on your own schedule
Participants receive the SFA workbook, field guide, and access to 20+ practical tools to continue serving effectively long after the course ends. Learn more at spiritualfirstaid.org.
