Community First Aid & CPR
Adult + Child CPR/AED
This hands-on adult and child CPR training course could help you save the life of a family member, a friend, or a stranger by preparing you to correctly and confidently respond to breathing and cardiac emergencies in adults and children over the age of one. Training on (& practice) properly using an AED is also included in this course.
Led by knowledgeable instructors, American Red Cross CPR training courses combine lecture with hands-on skills sessions. Perfect for those who learn best by doing (and not "death-by-PowerPoint"), our in-person classes give you ample time to ask questions and become comfortable with the latest techniques.
Participants will learn to:
• Protect the rescuer against disease transmission when giving care.
• Follow the emergency action steps: Check - Call - Care.
• Call for, and work with emergency medical services (911).
• Care for conscious and unconscious choking victims.
• Perform CPR, as well as care for breathing, and cardiac emergencies in both adults and children.
• Use an automated external defibrillator (AED) on a victim of a sudden cardiac arrest.
• Gain the confidence you need to act quickly and effectively in a medical emergency.

and is strongly recommended for all youth and adult leaders.
