Making CPR training part of growing up
Remember being asked what you wanted to be when you grew up? Teacher, doctor, firefighter... we believe every child, when they grow up, can make a difference. They just need the right skills and confidence.
A tale of two cities
Cardiac arrest is no laughing matter, and it's one of the leading causes of death globally. But guess what? A little CPR intervention can dramatically boost survival rates. The catch is, not all places are CPR-ready, and that's where we come in.
Consider Seattle, a city with an impressive 62% survival rate in sudden cardiac arrest cases. Australia? 10%. Now, this isn't a joke. Seattle's success is no accident; it's the result of their dedication to being a CPR-friendly community.
Community CPR education: Seattle has made CPR education accessible to everyone. Schools, workplaces, and community organisations regularly offer CPR training. This widespread education means that more people are prepared to act when it matters most.
Defibrillator accessibility: The city has also strategically placed automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in public spaces. These devices are crucial for delivering life-saving shocks to restart the heart's rhythm during cardiac arrest.
Empowered bystanders: Perhaps the most critical element of Seattle's success is its population's willingness to take action. Residents understand the importance of immediate CPR, and they aren't afraid to use their skills when faced with an emergency.
Why students? Why now?
Imagine what we could achieve in South Australia if we took the same approach. When students learn CPR:
They share their knowledge with family
They build confidence in their abilities
They help create a safer community
They carry these skills for life
This is why we're bringing affordable, engaging CPR training to schools across Adelaide. We've created something special - CPR training that kids actually want to do (… yes, really!)
Making learning count
Through our CPR classes, we aim to make CPR common knowledge. We provide accessible (…we come to you!) and engaging (…our qualified trainer is also an elite comedians) training that equips individuals, from students to teachers, with the confidence to step in when it matters most. Our training uses:
Stories that stick (because nobody ever learned from being bored)
Hands-on practice that builds confidence
Learning that feels fun
Remember: learning to save a life shouldn’t be boring … it should be unforgettable.
Let’s create a generation of capable and confident, life-savers!
