Red Cross Psychological First Aid

The American Red Cross invites community members to participate in a FREE, half-day training to learn how to better improve your mental health! These free classes will teach participants how to cope with emergencies and learn how to prepare, respond to, and recover from trauma. More specifically: spot stress in adults and children; learn how stress can be lowered by “resilience”- your ability to bounce back; build your resilience - and help your kids build their resilience; give immediate support to people in stressful situations; and practice psychological fist aid skills with your neighbors, friends and family members

Community resources will also be shared for both adults and children. You can use this information to help children or other adults. After completing the course, participants will also be able to share their knowledge and teach others in the community what they learned. This course is open to the general public (healthcare background is not required).
