Pediatric CPR, First Aid, AED & Stop the Bleed
Every caregiver hopes they never face a life-threatening emergency involving a child. Unfortunately, choking, breathing emergencies, severe bleeding, and sudden medical crises can happen without warning. When they do, the actions taken during the first few minutes can make a critical difference.
This hands-on training is designed for parents, grandparents, foster parents, babysitters, family members, and others who care for children under the age of five. Participants will learn how to recognize emergencies, respond with confidence, and provide lifesaving care while waiting for emergency responders to arrive.
