The Mattapoisett Free Public Library is pleased to announce two free safety courses aimed at equipping the community with life-saving skills.
On Tuesday, November 28 at 5 pm and Thursday, November 30 at 1 pm, GMEC will be at the Mattapoisett Library providing First Aid, CPR and AED Training. This course provides the non-healthcare provider (layperson) the skills needed to respond to and manage an emergency until emergency medical services arrive. This course is taught as a combination of First Aid and CPR/AED and provides the requirements for Department of Early Education and Care (ECC) standards. This training runs approximately 3 hours in length. Registration is required.
We will also be offering a Babysitter Training Course for the New and Seasoned Sitters with Beth Oleson on Wednesday, November 29 at 4:30 pm. This is intended to be an intermediate babysitting training course for students ages 11 to 15. Topics covered will include: Bedtime, mealtime, discipline, first aid, hands only CPR, contracts and ethics. This class is expected to run for 3.5 hours and participants are welcome to bring dinner or a snack. Registration is required.
Those interested can register for these programs at MattapoisettLibrary.org. If you have any questions, contact Michelle Skaar at mskaar@sailsinc.org or by calling the library.
