Psychological First Aid is for everyone!
We all have strengths and abilities to cope with life’s
ups and downs, however, everyone can be vulnerable
under stress or in a crisis situation. Training in
Psychological First Aid helps to reduce stigma
associated with mental health crises and can reduce
negative health outcomes for individuals by
promoting positive conversations about wellness.
With emphasis on establishing a connection with
people in a compassionate non-judgmental manner,
the training also helps to foster a positive work
environment and culture of care in the workplace.
First aid for the mind is just as important as first aid for
the body. Individuals suffering from high stress levels,
burnout and suicidal thoughts are at an all-time high in
areas such as workplaces, schools, indigenous
communities and among professional responders.
Psychological First Aid is a resiliency-building wellness
program that equips individuals in supporting
themselves and others to cope with the effects of
stress, loss, trauma and grief.
