Australian Red Cross and the District Council of Yankalilla will offer an introduction to first aid, including CPR, for young people aged 12 to 16.

It will be held on Sunday 1 September at Myponga Community Hall from 2pm to 4.30pm.

Highly experienced trainer Jon Jaensch will lead the session, bringing his almost 50 years of service as a first responder, volunteer, and SA Ambulance trainer.

Participants will have hands-on opportunities to practice first aid techniques, empowering them to respond confidently in real-life situations.

Key topics covered include CPR, fracture and sprain management, burn care, and basic wound care. I

While the course provides valuable introductory knowledge, it does not offer accreditation or certification. 

After the session participants will be invited to join a pizza and planning session, which aims to gather ideas from local young people to help guide future planning of opportunities and activities. 

Registration is essential; contact the organiser via Trybooking.
