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 Basic First Aid & CPR/AED Level C training at the North York location. The course was informative, well organized, and easy to follow. The instructor explained everything clearly and made the hands-on portions practical and engaging. I definitely feel more confident knowing how to respond in an emergency after completing this training. I would highly recommend Coast2Coast First Aid & Aquatics to anyone looking to get their First Aid and CPR certification.

I had an amazing experience with Sky! She was such a lovely instructor and made the entire class feel welcoming and comfortable. Despite the class being quite long, she kept it fun, engaging, and easy to follow the whole way through. She explained everything clearly, was patient when answering questions, and made sure everyone felt confident with what we were learning. I would definitely recommend taking a course with her!

I have to retake the Standard First Aid & CPR Level C course every three years, and I’ll admit that I was quite sceptical going into this one. I expected to be bored, since much of the material was familiar to me. But our instructor, Kianoosh, completely changed that experience. He created such an engaging, thoughtful, and interactive learning environment that the time simply flew by. Instead of just going through the material mechanically, he encouraged us to think, ask questions, and truly understand why we do things a certain way. I came away with so much new and valuable information and, more importantly, a much deeper understanding of the material than I had after previous courses. There was no unnecessary “walkie-talkie” or endless repetition, just the most important information, explained clearly and reinforced with many practical and memorable examples from Kianoosh’s own experience. After taking this course several times over the years, I can honestly say this was by far the most engaging and valuable one. Kianoosh is an excellent instructor, and I would highly recommend his course to anyone who wants to leave a First Aid & CPR class feeling genuinely more confident and prepared.

It was a really good class. I did my cpr back in 2021 and that instructor was good. I went back today to renew my CPR. Dimitrih was my instructor he was very friendly and very supportive while taking the test. He made everyone in the class (including me) feel welcomed and it was very engaging. Highly recommend this place to do or retake your cpr.
Response from the owner:Thanks for your kind review! We're so happy to hear it! Now you're ready to save a life. See you soon for recertification! Stay safe.
