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.

Sean Grimes
I recently completed my EMR course with Scott from Coast2Coast, and I can’t praise his teaching enough! I was fortunate to have taken this course three years ago, but unfortunately, much of it went over my head. I managed to get through it, but without truly understanding the material. This time, Scott’s teaching methods, passion, patience, and real-world experience made a huge difference in my understanding and confidence with these life-saving skills. If you’re lucky enough to have Scott as your instructor in your next course, you’ll definitely enjoy it and learn a lot! Thank you, Coast2Coast, for providing such excellent and dedicated teachers like him.
Response from the owner:Hi Sean! Thank you so much for your amazing review. We’re absolutely thrilled that you had such a great EMR training course with Scott as your instructor. We aim to provide the best learning experience possible, and we’re glad that you left feeling confident in your life-saving skills this time!

Hope to see you at our North York CPR training facility for your next recertification. Stay safe!

I recently completed my Standard First Aid and CPR training with Ali at Coast2Coast, and it was a great experience! This was my first time taking this course, and Ali made the learning process very clear and engaging. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and he made sure everyone felt comfortable asking questions and practicing the skills. I walked away feeling confident and well-prepared to handle emergency situations. Highly recommend Ali and Coast2Coast for anyone looking to get their certification!
