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.

Soo Katuramu
I have only ravings for the instructor Ali for the amazing job he did covering all bases on this course. The online course is quite intense but really worth it. Ali made the course material bery relevant and easier to understand.One thing is the 30 questions are very good but one question had me tripping! Please remove trick questions. Mental illness is a relatively new tooic and I think better questioning would help people understand that that too can be a ‘life-threatening’ situation to urge people to call 911 instead of only EMPATHY being a priority.
Response from the owner: Hi Soo! We would like to thank you on behalf of our team for trusting us with your training needs. We’re happy to see that you enjoyed your recent training course with us. Emergencies can happen at any time and we’re glad you took the steps to become more prepared. We appreciate your feedback regarding the material about mental health and we will look into it.
