As the leaders of their schools, principals, assistant principals, and deans carry the responsibility of keeping both students and staff safe every single day. From sudden medical incidents at assemblies to emergencies in classrooms or athletic events, administrators are often the first point of leadership in a crisis. The American Heart Association reports that nearly 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of hospitals each year, and the odds of survival more than double when CPR and AED use are started immediately.
Attentive Safety provides Heartsaver First Aid CPR AED training built specifically for school administrators. This program equips leaders with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to direct response efforts, support staff, and protect their school community when emergencies happen.
