St John’s Ambulance Young Responders Award
Teaching young people, aged 11-25, life-saving street first aid skills.
Steve ran the programme through interactive sessions based on real-life, first aid situations that are relevant to many young people's lives today. At the sessions, our learners practiced practical skills.
What they learnt improved their confidence and knowledge when dealing with emergency situations. They also had open discussions to reflect how these incidents impact mental wellbeing.
The sessions covered:
- Responding to a catastrophic bleed
- Dealing with an alcohol or vape spiking incident
- Staying safe from carbon monoxide poisoning
- Performing a primary survey and CPR
- How first aid situations affect mental health and wellbeing, and how to get support
