Psychological First Aid Modules
Red Cross Psychological First Aid Self-Study Modules
The Canadian Red Cross has developed Psychological First Aid Modules, completed online, which focuses on two components: Caring for Self as a priority and then Caring for Others which becomes possible when self-care needs are met. This entry level course explores our basic needs and how mental health can be realized when life-essentials are met. Coping is not possible without the realization of basic needs and when fulfilled coping strategies become a priority to help prevent mental health challenges.
Caring for Others hinges on self-care agency and this becomes possible when we are able to look beyond our own needs and realize that others are also in need. By completing these modules you will appreciate how stress, trauma, and grief can accumulate and erode the ability to cope effectively. The goal is to develop strategies for managing difficult situations for better overall health. These online modules provide a practical approach to managing life situations. The Psychological First Aid Modules include a knowledge evaluation and with successful completion you will receive an electronic certificate of completion. Please explore the course information for each module: Caring for Self and Caring for others.
