Course Descriptions
To register for one of the following classes, please contact the
Human Resources/Training team at 303-462-6684.
CPR & First Aid
This course is designed by the National Safety Council whose mission is to educate
and influence society to adopt safety, health and environmental policies, practices
and procedures that prevent and mitigate human suffering and economic losses arising
from preventable causes. Upon successful completion of this course, you join more
than 10 million National Safety Council trained responders protecting life and
promoting health.
The goal of First Aid and CPR is to provide people with the knowledge and skills
necessary in an emergency to call for help, to help keep someone alive, to reduce
pain, and to minimize the consequences of injury or sudden illness until advanced
emergency medical help arrives. The CPR portion of the course covers CPR skills for
adults, children and infants, and introduces the student to AED use. The First Aid
portion of the course covers bleeding and wound care, shock, burns, serious injuries,
bone/joint and muscle injuries, sudden illness, poisoning, heat and cold emergencies
and rescuing/moving victims.
Person Centered Thinking
Person Centered Thinking Training is a curriculum created by the Learning Community. The Learning Community for Person Centered Practices envisions a world where all people have positive control over the lives they have chosen for themselves. Our efforts focus on people who have lost or may lose positive control because of society's response to the presence of a disability. We foster a global learning community that shares knowledge for that purpose.
The Person Centered Thinking Training underlies and guides respectful listening which leads to actions, resulting in people who:
- Have positive control over the life they desire and find satisfying;
- Are recognized and valued for their contributions (current and potential) to their communities;
- Are supported in a web of relationships, both natural and paid, within their communities
By attending this training, the participant will learn how to use/apply various skills to gain useful information about the people they work with and achieve a more person centered approach to their profession.
Be sure to sign up for both Day 1 and Day 2 consecutively, as this is a two part course.
