About

Learn life-saving skills and practical safety tips in our hands-on sessions: Call Push Shock teaches CPR and AED use for cardiac emergencies, while Heat Health provides essential strategies to stay safe during extreme heat.

Call Push Shock (30 to 45 minutes)

Be ready to save a life with the Call Push Shock program – an empowering, hands-on session that teaches you how to respond confidently in a cardiac emergency.
