Background
First aid is a vital life skill. In emergencies, knowing what to do can save lives, yet many students leave school without basic training. Given incidents in schools and everyday life, young people should be prepared to respond. These skills are useful for everyone, regardless of career, and can make a real difference in critical moments.
