Duluth Community Education

Instructor: Julie Zaruba Fountaine This class will be conducted via Zoom. Since the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic, many of us have been searching for ways to cope with canceled plans, frantic schedules, and the unknown. For many, the pandemic is causing some feelings of anxiety and isolation. During this course participants will discuss and practice practical stress reduction techniques. By the end of class, participants will walk away with at least a few steps they can take to relieve stress.

Instructor: Elmer Engman The Emergency First Response CPR and AED training is designed as a “hands on” two part program to teach CPR on infants or adults and relief of foreign-body airway obstruction (FBAO) to all lay rescuers, particularly those who are expected to respond to emergencies in the workplace and give first aid. In the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) training component, learn how to use the AED machines now available in most public buildings. Wear comfortable clothing. There will be modifications to accommodate any Covid-19 precautions in place at time of class. Bring additional $30 for printed materials, certificate (good for two years) and equipment rental.
