Northwest Health – La Porte will offer the nationally recognized Safe Sitter course for young teens in grades 6-8. The one-day course will be offered twice, on June 17 and July 15, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
More than 600,000 young teens have graduated from this medically accurate program, which teaches how, why and where injuries might happen so they can be prevented. The course provides hands-on practice in lifesaving techniques to young teens who are home alone, watching younger siblings or babysitting, so they are equipped with the skills and confidence to act in an emergency. They learn basic first aid, infant and child choking rescue, and CPR. Students also receive instruction on how a child’s age affects how to care for him or her, how to prevent problem behavior, and how to run a babysitting business.
The cost of the course is $45. Students will be required to wear a mask in the building and will be screened upon entry. Students need to bring a lunch. Drinks and snacks will be provided.
Students who graduate from a Safe Sitter course receive a completion card demonstrating that they know how to use their skills in situations they encounter.
Information about the national Safe Sitter organization may be found at safesitter.org. Call Northwest Health – La Porte at 219-326-1234, ext. 1303, for more information or to register.
