Below are some trainings we provide
to community groups



WHACK the Flu!! is an interactive children's program teaching the 5 basic rules of good health. 

Consists of a short skit using a puppet (can be as simple as a sock puppet) that introduces the acronym.  We have found it works well as a cheer.

W- Wash your hands

H- Stay home if ill

A- Avoid toucing your ears, eyes, nose, mouth

C-Cough into your sleeve

K- Keep your distance from others who are ill 


Stop the Bleed

Stop the Bleed Logo


Launched in October of 2015 by the White House, Stop the Bleed is a national awareness campaign and a call to action.

Stop the Bleed is intended to cultivate grassroots efforts that encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.

We offer Train the Trainer program and once a training is completed then those with medical licenses are eligible to register as a trainer.  See www.stopthebleed.org  for more information.
