About this Event
Psychological First Aid (PFA) is about taking care of yourself – your thoughts, feelings and emotions when you have experienced stress, crisis or trauma – and then being there for family, friends and community when they are having difficulty coping.
Learn how to anticipate stress and crisis whenever possible and equip yourself with the skillset to practice self-care and to provide care for others during particularly challenging times. Unlike mental health first aid, which trains people to help someone during a mental health emergency, Red Cross Psychological First Aid teaches you how to build up resiliency to stress and establish coping strategies for stress and trauma.
This is a two day IN PERSON course. You will receive a certificate at the end of the course that will be valid for 3 years. Please bring a lunch, there are fast food places nearby, however it may not give you enough time to leave, eat and come back before the course resumes. There is a refrigerator available to store your lunch, as well as a microwave and a water dispenser to refill your water bottles.
