CPR/Stop the Bleed
February 25 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm
Sunday, February 25th,
9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. in Levin Hall
The Adult Education Committee is pleased to offer the Friends and Family CPR/Choking/First Aid and Stop the Bleed Courses. The courses will be taught by Scott Henry, Washington Township’s Fire Department Public Information Officer and CPR/First Aid/Stop the Bleed Instructor. These courses are being offered at NO CHARGE to Temple Beth Or members and the community.
The American Heart Association’s Family & Friends CPR Course teaches the lifesaving skills of Adult hands-Only CPR, Adult CPR with breaths, Child CPR, Adult and Child AED use, Infant CPR and choking relief for Adults, Children, and Infants. Basic First Aid will also be included. This course lasts approximately two hours. CPR can be practiced on the floor, table tops, or chair – “knees friendly”.
The CPR/Choking/First Aid course is designed for people who want to learn CPR, but DO NOT need a course completion card in CPR for their job. This course is ideal for schools and students, parents, grandparents, babysitters and others interested in learning how to save a life.
The Stop the Bleed course lasts approximately one hour and is a grassroots national awareness campaign and call-to-action. Stop the Bleed encourages bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.
No matter how fast professional emergency responders arrive, bystanders will always be first on the scene. A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes, therefore it is critical to quickly stop the blood loss. Participants will learn multiple ways to control bleeding in an emergency, including applying direct pressure, packing the wound with bleeding control gauze and applying a tourniquet.
This offering is limited to 20 participants. You may attend one or both courses and will receive a separate Certificate of Attendance for each class attended.
