Northwest Health to Offer Safe Sitter® Course in La Porte
5/20/2024
Northwest Health will offer the nationally recognized Safe Sitter® course for young teens, grades 6 - 8, twice this summer:
- Thursday, June 13; and
- Tuesday, July 23.
More than 600,000 young teens have graduated from the medically-accurate program which teaches how, why and where injuries 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 them, how to prevent problem behavior and how to run their own babysitting business.
Students who graduate from a Safe Sitter® course receive a Safe Sitter Kit and a completion card demonstrating that they know how to use their skills in situations they encounter.
The cost of the course is $55. Students should bring a lunch. Snacks will be provided. For more information, or to register your son or daughter, call (219) 326-1234, ext. 1303.
