Parents classes
AHA friends and family CPR
This course is for lay rescuers, including expecting parents, family members and babysitters. It’s for anyone who wants to learn CPR for non-work purposes. This course teaches lay rescuers to recognize and treat life-threatening emergencies. Topics include cardiac arrest and choking in adults, children and infants. It also provides demonstration and practice of an AED for an adult and child cardiac arrest victim. Course cards are in the back of the student book.
New parent support group
We are currently offering a group to provide an extra layer of support during the first few months of parenthood. The group is peer-led and facilitated by registered nurses.
Participants can:
- Share challenges, issues and joys in a judgment-free environment
- Meet other parents with similar experiences
- Foster potential relationships that will last beyond this group
