In addition to the English-language edition of Psychological First Aid, there are versions in Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish. An adaptation for community religious professionals is also available, and there are additional adaptations for Medical Reserve Corps members, and for staff at facilities for families and youth who are experiencing homelessness.
