Steve Longenecker's
Wilderness Emergency Medical Aid Book For Kids (& Their Adults)
"Your book was like finding the Holy
Grail! I'm a wilderness EMT (WEMT) who teaches First Aid, CPR, AED, etc.
during the school year, and a camp EMT during the summer. I'm forever stressing
that first aid is more about thought and planning than about band aids and
was searching for a curriculum that addressed that idea." -- Juanita Allen, Natick MA
Kids today are more active and adventurous than ever before. At camp,
at school, or in Scout groups, children are rock climbing, mountain biking,
and whitewater rafting. But do they know how to respond if their adult leader
is suddenly hurt or disabled?
Steve Longenecker's Wilderness Emergency Medical Aid Book for Kids
(& Their Adults) describes, in a way kids can understand, basic
techniques for responding in a medical emergency. The text includes tips
for teachers, suggestions for role-play simulations, and ideas for hands-on
practice sessions.
Whether in the woods, on a city street, or in their own back yards, kids
can learn simple, effective skills to respond positively when someone is
hurt. This book is designed to help adults prepare and empower children
to make a difference—and possibly save a life—in a medical emergency.
