Taking care of yourself and prioritizing your own safety is a fundamental principle in first aid training. It’s a pragmatic approach rather than a self-serving one. By ensuring your own safety, you position yourself to assist others effectively instead of becoming someone in need of help.
On 07/10/2023 the first aid emergency session held at the Tele-Education School in Assam; students learned about this crucial aspect of first aid. The session underscored the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle and how certain choices and practices can impact your risk of developing conditions like coronary heart disease. This awareness enhances their understanding of personal health and helps them identify potential risks in their environment.
Additionally, the session emphasized that knowing the basics of first aid boosts confidence in handling emergencies. Students were equipped with the skills to respond thoughtfully to various situations, not just in medical emergencies but also in everyday scenarios. With this knowledge, they will be better prepared to act calmly and effectively, enhancing their overall readiness to manage both anticipated and unforeseen challenges.
