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’ve taken CPR/First Aid courses for many years with different companies and at different places. The convenience of a hybrid option was what drew me to C2C and Walaa was super confident in her delivery and when answering questions.

I recently completed my First Aid & CPR training at Coast to Coast First Aid & Aquatics – 717 Richmond Street, and I had a great experience!
Before booking, I reached out to ask a question about a possible discount. They were very proactive in responding, answered all my questions clearly, offered me a student discount, and even helped book the course for me. The customer service alone made the process smooth and stress-free.
The instructor was fun, informative, and extremely knowledgeable, which made the course engaging and easy to follow. They explained everything clearly and kept the class interactive, so it never felt boring.
The facility is clean and well-organized. It’s conveniently located on the 3rd floor, and everything was set up and ready to go when we arrived. The training started right on time and even finished a bit early, which I really appreciated.
Overall, it was a professional, efficient, and positive learning environment. I would definitely recommend them for First Aid & CPR training!
