Topics will include:

• You Are the Help Until Help Arrives - Taught by Kelly Banks of the American Red Cross of North Florida

    Act with Confidence: Learn compression-only CPR (no breaths) to save or sustain a life.

    Understand AED basics: Gain knowledge on where to find and how to use an AED.

    Identify and treat a choking incident: Quickly recognize a choking situation and learn what you can do to help.

    Proper treatment for life-threatening bleeding: Learn how to use pressure to stop bleeding as well as how to use a tourniquet and proper treatment after the bleeding stops.
