Community CPR Awareness and Training Workshops
A cardiac arrest is when someone’s heart stops beating, they stop breathing and collapse.
Did you know that if you have a cardiac arrest and someone nearby helps quickly, it might save your life?
Did you know that many people want to help but are not sure how.
It’s important that all communities are given chances to find out how to help in ways appropriate to their lives and cultures.
This workshop aimed to raise awareness and provide some skills training. Would you like to learn more?
What we did
We invited people to take part in a free local Community CPR awareness and training workshop.
This workshop was part of a research study to find out how well a workshop like this works for your community and other communities like yours.
There was about 15 people at the group, and took about two and a half hours. Refreshments were provided.
What did the workshop involve?
The workshop had 2 parts:
1. Talking about what is a cardiac arrest and how to help during a cardiac arrest. We also talked about how to feel more confident to help during a cardiac arrest.
2. Training on how do CPR and use a heart restarter machine by qualified trainers.
We arranged to have an interpreter present at the workshop when needed.
