Description

The first care someone gets after injury can be the difference between life and death. Be the Help Until Help Arrives. Learn to become Active Bystanders capable of saving a life. Trauma is the leading cause of death for Americans under 46 years of age, and many victims bleed to death before they can reach the hospital. At a time with skyrocketing incidents of violent antisemitism in our country, learning the skills to save lives is more important than ever. We will be providing training for Jewish community members interested in learning life-saving skills in response to everyday incidents as well as active violence attacks. For any incident, like the Tree of Life Synagogue attack to the Boston Marathon bombings, citizens play a key role in saving lives in the minutes following an attack. It is imperative that we provide the knowledge and skills necessary to help our community save lives until our professional responders can arrive. Attend this class to learn how to recognize violent activities, respond safely, provide immediate rescue tactics to the injured, and report them to 9-1-1 efficiently. The skills you will learn are transferable to countless situations involving traumatic injury, which include car accidents, household injuries, or an active shooter. Come and learn how you can be the help, Until Help Arrives.
