First Responder
Do you want to know how to help in an emergency? Maybe someone on your gift list does? Sign up for a first aid, emergency responder or CPR class to learn some basic life-giving skills. Should you really apply pressure to a gunshot wound? How fast should you do chest compressions, and does it really work? Take a class and find out!
Why we do it:
First aid training is always a gift to yourself and your community, but as hospitals close and local governments struggle to replace federal funds, wait times are likely to increase. Prepare now by learning basic first-aid skills, and be ready to help in an emergency.
The Red Cross has classes nationwide, online and in-person, covering topics from water safety to CPR. Or check with your local Fire Department or Library.
