First Aid Basics
📋 What it is
Basic first aid — stay calm, get help, and simple steps for small injuries — lets you help until an adult or expert arrives.
🗣️ Coach says
You don’t need to be a doctor to help. For most small injuries the steps are simple: stay calm, get an adult, and for a cut — press clean cloth on it; for a burn — cool water. And you always know the biggest step: call for help.
