A brief description of the certificate program(s):
Selkirk College offers a Red Cross Psychological First Aid course. This course 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. In this 12-hour class, you'll learn how to anticipate stress and crisis and equip yourself with the skill set 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.

As climate anxiety continues to rise within our campus community, this type of training becomes increasingly more important for students and employees, as well as members of our surrounding community.
