Our focus on service to youth development is at the heart of our mission. Our Kids Hands-Only CPR program focuses on the early learning aspects of chest compression only, that when used as soon after a cardiac arrest, increases the chance for victim survival from a cardiac arrest.
Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at any time, hands-only CPR training by KIDS Alive! may help improve survival outcomes and save lives. When children are more aware of and engaged with the health of their community, they become more empowered and confident should the need arise for them to help someone experiencing cardiac arrest — they become an important link in the emergency response efforts.
