Stress First Aid - Calm

What Calm looks like for you: The goal is to reduce the intensity of physiological, emotional and behavioral activation. Remove yourself from a stressor, if possible. Practice mindfulness, get rest and do deep breathing exercises to invoke calm and reduce the harm of stress. Spend time with people who are important to you.
What Calm looks like for others: Give information about the context, skills or strategies that might help a person feel more informed and in control of a stressful event. Apply the same principals you'd use on yourself for others - encourage a stressed person practice deep breaths, offer a distraction or change of environment, and encourage access to stress-reducing activities.
