Family Preparedness Series
Because the Life You Save May Be Someone You Love
Emergencies happen without warning. Whether it's a child who is choking, a parent showing signs of a stroke, or a family pet in distress, the actions taken during the first few minutes can make all the difference.
The BCEP Family Preparedness Series was created to give parents, grandparents, caregivers, and families the confidence and knowledge to recognize emergencies, take immediate action, and help save lives until professional responders arrive.
Our educational programs are taught by experienced emergency response and safety professionals using realistic demonstrations, hands-on practice, and evidence-based instruction.
