Psychological First Aid
Responding to Traumatic Events Across
Muskegon County
HealthWest and our community partners have developed a Psychological First Aid (PFA) network that responds to traumatic events in our county. PFA aims to reduce stress symptoms and assist in a healthy recovery following a traumatic event, natural disaster, public health emergency, or personal crisis. Early intervention can prevent more serious mental health problems and people can recover from a traumatic event with support.
For assistance, please call 231-724-3600 or our warmline after hours: 231-722-HELP (4357). Click here to download our PFA flyer.
