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.

The first aid training was a great experience and very informative. The instructors explained everything clearly and made the lessons engaging with hands on activities and real life scenarios. I learned important skills such as CPR, how to respond to emergencies, and how to provide basic first aid safely and confidently. The training was well organized, and I now feel much more prepared to help someone in an emergency. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone because the skills learned are valuable and could make a real difference in someone's life.

I had an excellent experience with Dimitri as our First Aid and CPR instructor. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains everything in a clear, easy-to-understand way. What really made the class enjoyable was his sense of humor—he made us laugh while learning, so there was never a dull moment. The hands-on training was engaging, and I left the course feeling much more confident in my first aid and CPR skills. Thank you, Dimitri, for making the class both educational and fun. I highly recommend him to anyone taking a First Aid and CPR course!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Ed Rolyn! 🙏 We agree, Dimitri is fantastic at keeping the class laughing while teaching those important hands-on skills. We're glad he helped you build confidence during your Standard First Aid course in Mississauga. If you know anyone who needs training, send them our way! – The Coast2Coast Team
