Community Baby Showers: An Opportunity to Learn CPR
The Canton Fire Department proudly offers community baby showers as an opportunity for the local residents to learn how to perform CPR. Karlitia Johnson, an instructor from Brilliant Detroit, has been teaching her coworkers the differences in technique between performing CPR on a smaller child, versus an adult. Knowing these skills could prove to be beneficial and lifesaving in any situation.
One local Detroit resident shared a story about how he used the knowledge he acquired in order to save his daughter from choking on candy. Brilliant Detroit works diligently towards ensuring that parents have the proper resources necessary to keep their families safe.
Cindy Eggleton, Co-Founder and CEO of Brilliant Detroit, emphasizes the importance for parents to practice CPR and not to be intimidated by it. “You can gain the skills you need to ensure your child's safety and develop a sense of confidence in yourself,” Eggleton said.
