Learn CPR: A Lifesaving Skill for Our Community
We know that not everyone can make it to an in-person workshop, so we've created a short instructional video that teaches the fundamentals of CPR and AED use. In just a few minutes, you'll learn how to recognize cardiac arrest, perform proper chest compressions, and use an automated external defibrillator safely. No prior experience needed, just a willingness to help save a life. Watch the full video now on our Programs page and equip yourself with a skill that truly matters.
