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 received my CPR certificate at the Richmond Hill location. The class was amazing. Mitra was the best teacher. She explained everything in detail and made the class easy to understand.

Scott F was the best! He really engaged our group well and made the content fun to learn (not easy to do!). I could have done another full day with him. I feel prepared and confident to handle a first aid emergency if I need to, and inspired to continue my education in this space. Thank you Scott!

Very organized and professional course . One request : please use individual disposable face shields for CPR. It was awkward to use “second hand” ones.
