Heart 2 Heart First Aid CPR Training

🚀 Exciting News: Major Milestone! 🚀We're thrilled to announce that for the next four years, Heart to Heart CPR will serve as the City of Toronto’s official first aid training vendor for shelters and drop-in centres across the GTA!

💡 Since Oct 2020, amidst COVID-19 and record-high opioid-poisoning deaths, we've not only advocated for policy reform in training standards but also revamped shelter worker training with enhanced Basic Life Support skills, including specialized overdose response, extending far beyond basic first aid.

🌍 Our initiative became a free community program at the height of the pandemic, training and equipping over 250 at-risk community members and frontline workers in advanced overdose response. We also provided everyone with a free emergency backpack filled with essentials items like 4-piece PPE, a first aid kit, and vital Bag-Valve Mask.

🌹 This program was driven by The Johnston-Brais Initiative, formed in memory of our CEO's late friends Garth Johnston and Natalie Brais, who faced battles with HIV/AIDS, homelessness, and drug poisoning. Their stories and struggles have profoundly inspired our mission.

🤝This collaboration with the City of Toronto is a celebration of our dedication to creating safer, healthier communities and workplaces. Join us in marking this significant step in our journey from influencing policy reform to becoming the official first aid training provider for the City of Toronto's shelter system.🏆

A Moment That Touched Our Hearts: Amidst the hustle of our daily lives, young Jack gave us pause. His simple, genuine act stands as a powerful reminder of our mission: teaching the art of saving lives and offering support in moments of need. It's incredible how such pure intentions can manifest so early. Celebrate with us the actions of our tiniest First Responder, Jack. 🍼🚑

Behind every young hero is an inspiration. Our seasoned Supervising Instructor, Rob Honsberger, embodies the values we cherish. It's heartwarming to see Rob's dedication mirrored in Jack, a beautiful testament to the cycle of imparting knowledge and values.

Cheers to the moments that define us!
