Are you capable of saving someone’s life? The Santa Monica Chapter of the American Red Cross will offer free classes in adult and child CPR. There are five class sessions, each lasting three hours. Participants will learn how to overcome the reluctance to act in an emergency and to recognize and care for life-threatening respiratory, or cardiac emergencies. Skills learned can help individuals acquire the knowledge and gain confidence to possibly save a life, according to Red Cross officials.

The free CPR classes are a part of the “ABC's of a Safe Summer” and are hosted by the American Red Cross of Santa Monica in collaboration with the city of Santa Monica.

Participants should arrive and check in 10 minutes prior the start time of their class. Class size is limited and it’s strongly suggested that those interested pre-register for the session of their choice by calling the Santa Monica chapter at (310) 394- 3773 to register. Although the classes are free, anyone who requires a “certificate of completion” will be charged a $10 handling fee.

For additional information, call (310) 394-3773\. Kidsworld is back in Place
