Interesting that the first video stresses the Swiss flag so much. Could prove dangerous to have Swiss flags in a combat zone and not the proper red cross... Accidentally being mistaken for combatants (although the Swiss seem unlikely to go to war) is not good for morale.

Good point.

Chuck Jones presents emotional first aid

I think this kind of thing is important.  The more we learn about PTSD the more we can try to stem it at the source.

Not sure why but at least in the US a lot of FAKs are red with white crosses.  I assume it is more visible to be red and to avoid copyright problems.

The FAK I have in the Jeep is red  with a white cross.  The bag it's in has a red cross badge on the front to identify that there's a first aid kit inside.

I don't think people get that specific when an emergency happens, they just look for crosses.  In Canada green crosses are also used for first aid stations.

So it's true; Canadians really do have green blood like Vulcans!

Obviously you've never watched hockey or you'd know what color Canadian blood is. ...

I have never really paid attention to the few FAKs we have at work so I will check tomorrow and see what color the cross is

[Grant Lamontagne]

A quick Google Image search for First Aid Kit shows a number of green ones, many from UK suppliers.  Maybe it's a UK thing?

Green "First Aid Crosses" are starting to mean something completely different here in the states. I just moved to Oregon a couple years ago...

I guess you could say. Red cross still (and always have) mean physical health, and green cross means mental health.

The green/white symbols for safety and first aid are part of ISO 7010 which has been adopted by most, if not all, of Europe.

Correct

White cross on red ground == SWITZERLAND
Red cross on white ground == RED CROSS
White cross on green ground == FIRST AID international standard
Star of life (see below) == FIRST AID USA

FIRST AID 

I want to create a discount kit and call it second aid for folks who can't afford first aid ...


Thanks folks, I'm here all week.

I think I'll just keep safe and unharmed, so as not to need a green-red-white-blue with a cross-star-snake thingie...

Oh, and keep in mind your idea has already been used, Boss.

I've seen lots of SAKs around here...

And yes, I'm here all week, too.

I happened to think and snap a couple pics here of ours first aid kits.  Seem to be the same brand but they are different sized kits. Also a few years in age different (we keep them stocked as we run out of things). The only thing the same is the cross between kits it seems

[Poncho65]

I guess the teal colored one is glow in the dark from looking at my pic and then checking the kit itself out, I have never noticed that as I am only around it in daylight

Instead of that, I prefer to Be Prepared first.

I'm afraid this discussion is somewhat derailing from its title: "Emergency Stress Management". That would be a pity.

All of your videos were about first aid of some sort so I would say that this thread is staying on track more than some I have been involved in

The title of this topic is not about physical first aid, but about mental health care and emotional first aid. That is a totally different field of care.

Yes you are correct and I believe I am done reading your threads and commenting for even when I do comment in your topic range your not satisfied with anything I say. So good day to you I am out

Here at Multitool.org I believe conversations are like living things and need to be allowed to grow in whatever direction they want.  Some forums are very single minded in discussions, and off topic discussions are discouraged, and so our way of doing things takes some getting used to. 

Threads are going to get derailed around here- it happens.  If you want something to get back to the original topic you are welcome to post new information, new questions or simply try to guide the conversation back to where it began.

I respect your input, and I try to be respectful to everybody. But this is a discussion forum, so I discuss things with arguments, from which I can learn. I didn't mean to be rude to you at all. Sorry if you felt that way. My English is just not so good.
