cpsylist: Street Medic / First Responder Training Eugene!

[Bryan O Rojas-Arauz]

Hi CPSY,
This event will be taking place in Eugene. I've been working with the 
collective and they are really excited to come down to Eugene. I was 
part of in the Fall and it was an incredible opportunity. Cost is on a 
sliding scale $25-$125. Spots usually fill up however the collective 
prioritizes access to the training for underrepresented and marginalized 
communities. If there are any questions or if you would like to attend 
(know of someone who would like to) let me know so I can refer you and 
get you to the front of the line!


Best,


Bryan

Hello!

This May, we the Rosehip Medic Collective, are putting on a 20-hour 
Street Medic Training in Eugene, OR.  Our trainings are open to people 
of any skill level; we encourage EMTs to attend our trainings as 
strongly as we do people with no first aid background.  The training is 
holistic, focusing on preparation, actions and aftercare.  Participants 
leave with useful tools whether they plan on being a medic at every 
major protest or if they simply want basic first aid knowledge for their 
neighborhood.  The schedule is intensive, with one evening session and 
two long days that include hands-on practices and realistic scenarios.  
We strive to make our trainings accessible, safe and supportive for all 
people and will work with you beforehand to try to meet your specific 
needs. Please let us know about any questions or concerns that might 
prevent you from training!
 
Our training includes:
-the why's, what's, how's and ethics of street medicking
-action preparedness
-patient assessment, basic first aid skills and life-saving techniques
-when to call 911 and how to interact with Emergency Medical Services
-police violence and chemical weapons
-use of herbs in the streets and for aftercare
-packing your first aid kit
-and much more!
 
The training will take place on the following dates:
-Friday, May 4th 5pm-9pm
-Saturday, May 5th, 9am-6:30pm
-Sunday, May 6th, 9am-6:30pm

Please note that we ask a $25-$125 donation from all participants to 
cover our costs. We only require a $10 deposit to hold your place then 
you can pay the rest at the training.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:
If you are interested in attending this training, please e-mail us 
(rosehipmedics at gmail.com) to begin the registration process. We will be 
trialing a new application process for this training and your patience 
is appreciated! Our last training filled rapidly, please get back to us 
as soon as possible. We are only able to hold spots for participants 
that can commit to the full training.
