In collaboration with the Department of Health’s Office of Public Health Preparedness, Vibrant Hawaii invites interested community members to a free Psychological First Aid training being conducted on Hawaii Island.
The training will be led by Hawaii Island instructors for anyone who desires to be a steady presence during times of crisis. It is especially valuable for educators, frontline workers, faith leaders, coaches, community volunteers, healthcare providers and anyone in a caregiving or public-facing role.
The interactive workshop will teach practical skills to recognize signs of stress, respond with empathy, and connect individuals with appropriate support. Participants will learn how to stay grounded in high-stress situations, offer immediate emotional support and to be a calm, stabilizing presence during a crisis.
Participants can register for either of the following trainings:
- June 12, 8:30 a.m. to noon or 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. - Hawaii Community College, Hilo
- June 17, 8:30 a.m. to noon - Hawaii Community College, Palamanui, Kona
