When and where you could use your training may surprise you...
Do you work with other people or have other people come into your place of employment? Do you have a family, belong to a church or organizations, especially youth organizations or go out in public?
A recent graduate of a Red Cross First Aid/CPR class was sitting in a fast food restaurant in Maine when she noticed a customer coming in the front door fell over. She quickly recognized he was having a seizure and was in danger. With her training, she knew exactly what to do and was able to not only help him but to organize other bystanders to protect him.
Emergencies can be very stressful. Having the knowledge that you can do something to help in an emergency makes stepping in and helping easier and much more effective. We never know where or when something will happen or even what will happen. Being prepared is the only way we have of making sure something can be done to try to help.
Would you like to learn what to do in case of an emergency? Would you like to be a Red Cross volunteer and help others during a man made or natural disaster? We have a training to meet your needs.
