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.

Standard first aid and cpr/aed with Mohamed Ezz. He was phenomenal. Very informative and gave not only the information required but also explained all the reasoning behind why each step of the course was important in a way that kept the material interesting. Gave a lot of real life examples to allow the material to be easily remembered, I would happily take a course with him in the future and recommend to anyone looking for a good first aid and for course.

Ezz created a comfortable learning environment where everyone felt encouraged to ask questions.

Ezz was a fantastic instructor. He and the course (online and in-person) were highly interactive, allowing for a great blend of independent and collaborative learning. This was a course I’ve always wanted to take, just for fun, but now that I plan to work in a position of care, learning standard first aid and CPR/AED has become all the more important. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone interested in learning these valuable skills.
