Stress First Aid recognizes that stress affects everyone differently and can range from healthy and adaptive to severe and persistent. The Stress First Aid model helps individuals and teams identify where they or their peers may fall on this continuum and take proactive steps to restore balance and resilience.
The Stress Continuum is a tool that maps stress from healthy to unhealthy zones, helping us recognize changes early and take action.
Stress First Aid is not counseling or mental health treatment. It’s a compassionate, practical framework that empowers peers to notice, talk about, and respond to stress in everyday settings, strengthening both individual and team resilience. Stress First Aid is caring for ourselves and others.
