🚨 Could you save a life? It’s National CPR and AED Awareness Week.

Only about 30% of college students are trained in CPR, and emergencies can happen anywhere on campus. ❤️ Learning CPR + AED means you can act fast, save a life, and make a real difference.

Why it matters for students:
1: Every second counts: Immediate CPR can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival.
2: You’re often first on the scene: In classrooms, dorms, gyms, or events.
3: AEDs are everywhere: Schools and public spaces have them.
4: Confidence saves lives: Training removes fear and gives you the confidence to act.
