How many of life’s everyday accidents and emergencies are you prepared to handle? Do you know how to treat someone for a broken bone, a burn, a severely bleeding wound, frostbite or heat exhaustion? What if you’re the first person on the scene of a car crash in which there are badly injured victims? Would you know how to respond? Could you make a difference, perhaps save a life? We will learn life-saving techniques like the Heimlich maneuver and treating shock. Students may be CPR-trained by a certified instructor using manikins. These are valuable life skills!
