Each year, I share a series of first aid videos to help remind everyone of these life-saving skills. I specifically chose these videos because they are only 2-5 minutes long, so you can get through the entire set on your coffee break. There are plenty of high-quality, longer tutorials on YouTube if you want a deeper dive. Either way, I hope you’ll find some time to review these important lessons.
(Also note that CPR and choking procedures are different for infants, so if you have babies in your life, please look up specific instructions for them!)
These videos are best as a refresher. If first aid skills are new to you, I recommend taking an in-person course. Most community centers offer classes for free or at a low cost. Don’t skimp on these valuable skills—they could make all the difference.
