Join the Specialized Advocacy Fund and Foster Calm - First Aid and
Leadership Trainings for an innovative Wilderness First Aid training.
This 16-hour training is designed to prepare you to confidently and
effectively respond to injuries and illness that can occur out on the
trails. The training will focus on staying calm, making good
decisions, and relevant hands-on practice. Upon successful
completion, each participant will receive a Wilderness First Aid
(WFA) Certification valid for 3 years.

Topics covered
• Managing an accident scene out on the trail
• Patient assessment
• Shock & bleeding
• Head & spinal injuries
• Wound care
• Musculoskeletal injuries
• Heat and cold illnesses
• And much more

Cost is still pending. ~$100.

Encourage your family and loved ones to participate, too! The life
they help save might be yours…

There are 5 possible weekends that I/Specialized can host, 2 that I
cannot (but *you* could! :>).

I have created a wiki to track interest by weekend. Please visit
http://wfa-certification-possibilities.wikispaces.com/ and fill in
your name/email address appropriately.

~*~If you've never used a wiki, please watch the following YouTube
before using it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dnL00TdmLY ~*~

PLEASE USE THE WIKI BY 4PM PST FRIDAY 30 JAN 2009. I need to confirm
with Foster Calm which weekends we want to book.

Once I have confirmed weekends with Foster Calm, I will send out
another email with further details on payment and confirming your
registration.
