Apr. 14, 5:15-6:15 PM: Struggles and Solutions. Struggles and Solutions is a group lifestyle coaching program.

By learning Hands-Only CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) or CPR without mouth-to-mouth breathing, you can increase confidence and reduce hesitation in life-saving situations. This training also includes a demonstration of the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and education on early heart attack signs and symptoms.

Calm your mind, take a much-needed break, and practice full-body relaxation and rejuvenation. This virtual lunch and learn will give you the tools to feel more relaxed and refreshed in just 30 minutes!
