Episode description

Two healthcare workers and mothers, Sarah Duncanson and Amy Gomez, have developed a first aid education program for young children, demonstrating that kids can learn life-saving skills like CPR and AED use from an early age. Their book 'What Little Heroes Do' teaches children essential emergency response techniques, including how to check for breathing, perform chest compressions, and safely use automated external defibrillators. Research from Denmark shows that teaching children first aid has tripled out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates within a decade.
