We launched the Crisis Skills Training Programme at Kohtla-Järve

Registration is now open for a free crisis skills training program in civil defence in Kohtla-Järve! You are warmly invited to join the free Saturday sessions – together, we can make Kohtla-Järve more resilient to crises.

The programme’s goal is to provide essential knowledge and skills for dealing with crisis situations. In collaboration with experienced professionals in the field, the training sessions will be held on Saturdays in the spring of 2025. The training programme contains the following free training sessions:

1. Mental Health First Aid During a Crisis (in Estonian, trainers from NGO Peaasjad clinical psychologists):

How can we provide immediate emotional and mental support during a crisis – mental health first aid? Mental health first aid, like physical first aid, is accessible to anyone who understands the basic principles of first aid and has completed mental health first aid training. As a result of your participation, you will be able to provide initial support and information to someone with mental health concerns, as well as use basic self-help techniques to support your own mental health. The training sessions will take place on-site for the first day and online for the second day, with a week in between to practise what you’ve learnt.

15.03 on-site training at Wiru Sport Centre (between 11.00–16.00) and 22.03 web-based training (between 11.00–13.00) – REGISTRATION CLOSED!

2. First aid (in Estonian, instructed by paramedic Andrus Lehtmets):

What is the most important thing in first aid, even during a crisis? We’ll review the most common injuries, accidents, and outbreaks to refresh our knowledge. Refreshed skills are essential in times of peace as well as during crises, whether natural or man-made, such as those in Ukraine. Participants will receive a certificate.

15.03 on-site training at Wiru Sport Centre (between 11.30–18.30) – REGISTRATION CLOSED!

3. Urban Survival Training (in Estonian, trainer from the paramilitary Women’s Voluntary Defence Organisation):

The Women’s Voluntary Defence Organisation instructors will lead the training, which will be primarily practical. We will learn the fundamental skills required to survive in an urban setting in the event of a serious crisis. We will concentrate on three key areas – water, food, and heat.
