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.

Rebecca Singh
Rajeev is a very good instructor. He makes the BLS course interesting, informative, and important. Well spent 4 hours for anyone that would like to learn basic life support.
Would recommend Coast2Coast as they were able to reschedule me in a timely manner when my class was originally cancelled.
I’ve been to both the Newmarket and Brampton locations and the instructors were very helpful in guidance and making sure you felt confident.

Damilola Ogunnowo
Great trainer. He was patient, practical and showed granulated knowledge.
Nitin L
I took a course with Rajeev during the long weekend. His professionalism combined with his anecdotes were very helpful in applying the concepts directly to real situations.
Although I am not new to first aid, I still learned a great deal, which I attribute to Rajeev’s teaching methods. He would prompt the class with questions to give everyone a chance to arrive at the answer themselves before offering the answer. This is something I have found very helpful in my past learning, and was glad to have that through the SFA-C course. He was respectful while knowing when to include humor, inspirational, and used demonstrations to keep everyone engaged.
I would highly recommend Coast2Coast and Rajeev’s courses for anyone looking to learn first aid or take another course that he teaches.
I would also recommend anyone reading this to take a first-aid and CPR course as it is invaluable – emergencies don’t come with warnings.
