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.

Elmira Ghanbarzadeh
The only issue was that the chairs were not comfortable enough for an 8 hour class, and there were no desks 😅
But the class was so good and full of energy that everything went really well. I was prepared for a long, boring day, but I didn’t feel tired at all!
Mr. Ali was very professional, caring, and energetic. He taught everything clearly, and we were able to answer all the questions on the final test.
The practical part was also great, he explained everything to everyone really well.
It was a great experience. It could have been a tough Sunday, but it actually turned out to be fun and not tiring at all!

I’ve done this or similar courses frequently over the years. This was the best delivery ever. Not only has Red Cross made really intelligent changes to the material, the instructor (Pratt) was the best I’ve seen: clear but concise, lots of anecdotes, and very practical approach. Top notch.

Faith Ojuma
I had a very positive experience in this BLS course. The instructor Rajeev was knowledgeable, clear in their explanations, and created a supportive learning environment. Skills were demonstrated step by step, and we were given enough time to practice and ask questions. The instructor also explained the why behind each step, which helped me better understand the importance of BLS procedures. He is respectful, patient, and made sure every student felt comfortable and confident.
I would definitely recommend this instructor to others preparing for CPR/BLS certification
