ManaTEEN Disaster Training

On June 17th yet another group of ManaTEENs became CPR/AED and First-Aid certified. It was an interesting course, full of interactive activities and discussion. ManaTEENs even had the opportunity to get their hands a little dirty as they practiced the proper technique for removing used gloves. The training was made possible thanks to a generous grant from State Farm Youth Advisory Board and helped prepare youth for emergency/disaster situations. The disaster preparedness initiative will continue on this summer and ManaTEENs are encouraged to participate in the various trainings offered including CPR/AED, First-Aid, Emergency Response, Dog/Cat CPR, and more!
