Berne, 5 September 2026 โ€“ The Philippine Embassy in Berne conducted a briefing on psychological first aid (PFA) for members of the Filipino community, focusing on practical, culturally sensitive support for persons in distress.

Retired Filipino psychologist and counselor Annabelle โ€œAnnyโ€ Misa Hefti was invited to serve as a resource speaker, during which she defined PFA as a form of practical, compassionate, and evidence-based support provided following a crisis or traumaโ€”not as therapy. She underscored the need for culturally sensitive care for Filipinos, integrating concepts such as bayanihan, malasakit, and pakikiramay, while also considering hiya, utang na loob, and privacy.

Ms. Misa Hefti is founder of Samahang Pilipina Bern and a two-time honoree of the 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the World (Global FWN100) by the Filipina Womenโ€™s Network. She co-founded Samahang Pilipina Luzern and Zรผrich, Babaylan Philippine Womenโ€™s Network in Europe, the Migrant Womenโ€™s Forum in Bern, and the European Network of Filipinos in Diaspora.

The briefing was organized for volunteers of the Community Participation in Assistance to Nationals (COMPASS) Network. COMPASS members assist overseas Filipinos in distress in coordination with the Embassy. The activity supports the Department of Foreign Affairsโ€™ Gender and Development Agenda by strengthening gender-responsive assistance-to-nationals services, particularly in violence against women and children cases, and by equipping the community to respond to gender-related issues.
