This past weekend, I had the pleasure of teaching CPR and AED information to two amazing couples that contacted me out of concern for their children.  The couple featured on the photo will be having their first bundle of joy in the upcoming months.  As new parents, they felt it incumbent upon them to receive training to handle emergencies. They brought the new baby’s uncle with them to also receive the same training.

The other couple in attendance was from the other side of my city. They are responsible for providing childcare to a one-year-old toddler. The toddler’s parents had requested they become certified in CPR to be better prepared to handle emergencies.

As we go further along into 2019, what better gift to offer your loved ones than being prepared to save lives when emergencies occur?  I receive requests for training from health care professionals, business owners, and my favorite group – family members that simply want to be better able to handle emergencies swiftly and efficiently.  The American Red Cross curriculum is thorough yet flexible and able to meet the needs of those without any medical education or training.

Blessings for the rest of 2019! As we close the month of February, which is Heart Health Awareness Month, consider gifting the knowledge of CPR to yourself or your family members during this year.  www.help4community.com
