First Aid Essentials
📋 What it is
Basic first aid — staying calm, getting help, simple safe steps — can protect someone until experts arrive.
🗣️ Coach says
First aid is the simple, safe help you give before professionals arrive. The core is: stay calm, make sure the scene is safe, get an adult or call emergency services, and do simple things like applying pressure to a bleed or keeping someone comfortable. Knowing the basics helps everyone.
🧠 Memory hook
First aid = stay calm → make it safe → get help/call emergency → simple safe steps until experts come.
