The Help for Helpless (H for H), known for its dedication to emergency rescue and community welfare, invites college students to enroll in our flagship Student Cadet Training Program: Safety and First Aid. This intensive, hands-on course is designed to equip the next generation of leaders and active citizens with the essential life-saving skills needed to respond effectively during accidents, health emergencies, and disasters, ultimately fostering a safer campus and community environment.
College students are a high-risk group for accidents. Every year, close to two thousand people in the age group 15-29 lose their lives in accidents in Kerala, most of them college students. For every accident leading to a death, there are many more living with lifelong disabilities, physical scars and mental trauma. In addition to the emotional and economic pressure this puts on the family, accidents prevent our youngsters from reaching their full potential, a tragedy for them and society.
Many of the accidents and consequent deaths could be prevented by basic safety awareness and the ability to respond to them professionally. Safety awareness, first Aid, and training in basic life support are an integral part of schooling around the world. However, these issues are not yet part of our education system. Consequently, students in campuses are not even aware of fundamental aspects of first Aid or emergency life support.
Help for Helpless has been working in emergency and trauma response for many years. We have come across hundreds of accidents involving college students, and most of them ended up in tragedies for the families. It is this involvement that promoted H FOR H to design a training course specially targeting college students. This programme, titled ‘Safety and First Aid for College Students’, is specially designed to create awareness of safety risks and provide life skills to deal with emergencies. The session will cover the following topics;
H FOR H has already conducted safety and first aid training courses in several campuses, including the Department of Bioinformatics, Kerala University, Sacred Heart College, Thevara, Ernakulam, Institute of Land and Disaster Management, National Institute of Technology (NIT), Calicut, Cochin University and the University of Calicut, among others.
Each year, H FOR H plans to conduct training courses in at least 50 campuses across Kerala, including major universities, engineering colleges, and arts colleges. For Partnering Colleges: If you are a college administrator or faculty member interested in hosting this training program on your campus, please get in touch with us.
