Psychological First Aid Course

This course is designed for anyone 16 years (recommended) or older who is interested in learning about how psychology plays just as important a role as physical first aiders in our day-to-day lives. Psychological First Aid teaches participants about the effects of stress, loss, trauma and grief of themselves and others. It is important for participants to understand these effects so they are able to help themselves or others handle life’s challenges or mental health issues.

We all know someone who is suffering with their mental health whether that is from stress, trauma or grief. What we may not know is how they are coping with their problem. Many of those who are suffering require emotional and psychological support in order to properly heal.

This course focuses on self-care and personal protection so participants can learn to build resiliency against these challenges and maintain a proper balance of their mental, emotional and physical health. Not only will you learn how to help yourself, you will also learn how to identify and prevent stress for others and become a caring, supportive listener.

I had a great experience completing my CPR training with Coast2Coast, and I highly recommend them. My instructor, Edward, was extremely engaging and knowledgeable throughout the entire course. He made sure everyone stayed focused and involved by having us actively practice CPR and first aid techniques with each other, rather than just listening to lectures.
Edward didn’t stay behind a desk—he moved around the classroom, checked in with everyone, and kept the energy up, which really helped with focus and learning. He answered all of our questions clearly, using great explanations and hands-on demonstrations that made everything easy to understand and remember.
Overall, this was a very effective and enjoyable training session. I would definitely recommend Coast2Coast and would gladly come back for future courses.

Response from the owner:Thank you, pj solano! 💪 We're so glad you had such a positive experience completing your CPR training with Edward in North York. We completely agree, he's fantastic at keeping everyone engaged by having you actively practice techniques and keeping the energy up!
