Today I, along with the other members of Red Cross Gator's Hands-Only CPR committee were trained as Hands Only CPR Presenters, meaning we are now qualified to train others in hands-only CPR. We attended a multi-hour training session at the Gainesville Red Cross office where we learned when to provide first aid, how to provide it, and other important considerations like how to give CPR to an adult vs. child and various complications that can occur. Then we were taught how to train groups of people. This was the first step in implementing hands-only CPR trainings in the Gainesville community.
Now we are beginning the process of organizing trainings for groups in the Gainesville community, and intend on focusing on local schools.
