Life-Saving Measures

My 3 takeaways from the Presentations on Substance Abuse and CPR
(1) I discovered from the CPR presentation that prompt action can save lives since doing chest compressions right away doubles or triples of survival. (2) I’ve also learned how crucial it is to maintain a consistent beat when performing compressions and how simple it is to operate AEDs using their voice instructions. (3) I discovered the detrimental impacts of drug and alcohol usage on mental and physical health from the Substances presentation. I also understood the significance of learning how to say no and how peer pressure may result in poor choices. Finally, I now know where to go for substance abuse support groups or hotlines.

CPR and substance abuse reflection

I wasn’t here for naloxone presentations but I was for substance abuse and CPR, I recently learned CPR lately, which is an essential ability that may save lives. I couldn’t help but think about the potential major impacts this knowledge might have on my life. Thinking of situations where quick response could be critical, I realized how much responsibility comes with learning about CPR. A sense of empowerment developed when someone realized they were prepared to help someone in a life-threatening circumstance. It got me thinking about how important it is to be a capable, accountable person who is ready to act in an emergency. My awareness of the connection of people in times of crisis has increased along with my sense of personal ability thanks to my acquired knowledge of CPR. And for substance abuse, Thinking back on substance misuse has made me more conscious of the possible effects it could have on my life. Realizing the difficulties people encounter in maintaining their physical and mental health, I’m reminded of the value of a supportive environment and asking for assistance when necessary. This information highlights how important it is to make wise decisions in order to protect one’s own health and the health of people around one.
