ASA Now is proud to present this informative presentation: CPR/First Aid for Foster Parents. Whether it's a simple cut or bruise or a life-threatening emergency, no one wants to see a child or a loved one hurt. The Adult and Pediatric First Aid, CPR & AED certification class will prepare you to recognize and care for a variety of first aid, breathing, and cardiac emergencies involving adults, children and infants. This class meets foster licensing requirements.
This training is for Kinship, Foster or Guardianship parents caring for children in foster care. This training includes Childcare.
Location:
Jacob's Mission Community Center
7830 E. University Dr. Mesa, AZ 85207
623-428-1592
Description:
Our CPR/First Aid course for Foster Parents covers: recognition of emergencies, scene and patient assessment, activating 9-1-1, performing hands only CPR and using an AED, and basic first aid including choking, and injury prevention tips. Traditionally, a bystander who witnessed a cardiac event only performed CPR less than 20% of the time; and the expected survival rate was near 8%. People failed to perform for a number of reasons, but some common reasons are: not knowing what to do, fear of litigation, fear of injuring the victim, and fear of contracting a disease. Some of those reasons were well founded, but far-fetched. Our classes cover these topics, and much more!
- Upon successful completion of this course you will receive a certificate for Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED valid for two years.
