Safe Sitter classes to begin June 3 | News, Sports, Jobs

Trinity Health is accepting registrations for another round of Safe Sitter classes this summer. Safe Sitter is a nationally approved, medically accurate program for youths 11 years of age or older. It teaches young people the skills they need to handle real life emergencies and keep children safe when they are home alone, watching younger siblings, or babysitting. Kathleen White, Community Education Supervisor, said the one-day course provides instruction and hands-on training on a variety of topics, including choking and rescue breathing, safety for the sitter, accident management, child development, and the business of babysitting. “These are skills that can empower young people to become true assets to our community,” White said. “Students feel more confident caring for younger children, and parents can feel more at ease knowing their teens are prepared to handle emergencies.”

Dec 22, 2020 Trinity Health has scheduled a “Stop the Bleed” training session Jan. 5 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Health Center Riverside, 1900 8th Avenue SE. Stop the Bleed is a national initiative that empowers community members to take lifesaving action if quickly needed, regardless of the situation or cause of severe bleeding. “Bleeding is the #1 cause of preventable death after an injury,” said Rhonda Gunderson, RN, BSN, Trinity Health’s Trauma Program manager. “The skill of being able to control bleeding until help arrives can save a life.” Class participants learn the basics of stopping uncontrolled bleeding due to a car crash, a work incident, or everyday emergency. The one-hour class is free and open to the public. Participants may purchase a Stop the Bleed kit for $20 if they so choose.
