CPR/AED/Basic First Aid Training
Heart disease and stroke are
the first and fourth leading causes of death in the United States, making
cardiovascular disease responsible for 1 of every 3 deaths in the country.
Americans suffer more than 2 million heart attacks and strokes each year, and
everyday 2,200 people die from cardiovascular disease. Further, heart disease
and stroke are among the leading causes of disability in our country, with more
than 3 million people reporting serious illness and decrease quality of life.
Join the Allegany County Community Wellness Committee in the National Campaign
working to prevent one million heat attacks and strokes in the next five years.
This effort requires commitment from everyone – health care providers,
pharmacies, hospitals, employees, communities, and individuals too. Successful
completers will receive their 2-Year Certification. Space is limited. To learn
more, visit our website at: http://www.ardentnetwork.org/first-aidaedcpr-training-registration.html

Child
Passenger Safety Seat Program
Using a car seat (child safety seat)
is the best protection you can give your child/grandchild when traveling by car.
Every state in the United States requires that an infant or small child be
restrained. And with good reason — unintentional injury is the leading cause of
death in children, and most such injuries are automobile crashes. Whether
you're expecting your first child, or you have a car-full, correctly choosing
and installing a child safety seat can be a challenge, especially with the
variety of seats, belt systems, and vehicles available on the market. Let Ardent
Solutions’ Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians check your child is safe
in his/her car seat. Appointments are not necessary. Yet, to ensure we bring
adequate supplies, appointments are recommended. Please see the flyer attached
or visit our website to learn more at http://www.ardentnetwork.org/child-safety-seat-events.html

Applied
Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)
Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST)
is a two-day intensive, interactive and practice-dominated course designed to
help caregivers recognize and review risk, and intervene to prevent the
immediate risk of suicide. It is by far the most widely used, acclaimed and
researched suicide intervention training workshop in the world. The goal of
ASIST is to enhance a caregiver’s abilities to assist a person at risk to avoid
suicide. By completing the workshop, participants will be able
to:
- recognize that caregivers and persons at risk are affected by personal and societal attitudes about suicide
- discuss suicide with a person at risk in a direct manner
- identify risk alerts and develop a safe plan related to them
- demonstrate the skills required to intervene with a person at risk of suicide
- list the types of resources available to a person at risk of suicide, including themselves
- make a commitment to improving community resources and networking
- recognize that suicide prevention is broader than suicide intervention and, includes life promotion and self-care for persons at risk and for caregivers.
