FACT+ - Lunch & Learn Workshops

FACT+ First Aid Workshop:

​

Are members of your team confident in First Aid? Or, maybe you have started a new business and are looking for valuable employee training, but certifying your entire team in First Aid & CPR is cost prohibitive.

FACT+ - AED  Workshop

​

This workshop is designed to increase the awareness and understanding at your workplace about your AED.  

Many businesses want their staff to learn how to use an AED, but they don't have the means to certify everyone.

​

Too often we hear of businesses that have installed an AED machine, yet it was "not ready for use", or no one on the team felt comfortable or confident using it.  

​

This interactive workshop  will provide an excellent cost effective opportunity to increase awareness, reduce the anxiety surrounding the AED, to learn the FACTs and empower your team to take action!

​

Topics for this "non-certified" workshop include:

​

• What is an AED?

• How does it work?

• Is it hard to use?

• reviewing where AEDs are located in your workplace

• reviewing how to inspect your AED monthly

• when to call for an AED

• Who is allowed to use/administer the AED

• how to recognize the signs and symptoms of sudden cardiac arrest

FACT+ - Opioid Overdose Response Workshop

An overdose is a life-threatening medical emergency.
 
Naloxone is a medication that can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, but it does not cure an overdose. If anyone suspects or witnesses a person experiencing a drug overdose, call 911 and administer naloxone, even if the drug consumed is unknown. Example of opioids include heroin, morphine, codeine, Percocet, methadone, fentanyl, carfentanil, etc.

Being able to recognize the signs of an overdose quickly and having a naloxone kit can save a life.
Naloxone can buy time while paramedics are en route. Take-home naloxone kits do not replace the need for emergency care or minimize the importance of calling 911.
