APPLY TODAY: bit.ly/PSMedic **** Project South’s Community First Response 9-Day Training! Project South is continuing to build community capacity for emergency medical response by offering our next Wilderness First Responder certification course. This intensive training focuses on assessing, stabilizing, and caring for people in situations where illness or injury requires immediate action and professional medical help may be delayed. While Wilderness First Responder certification is traditionally designed for outdoor recreation and remote travel, often a privileged space, at Project south we are intentionally bringing these skills into frontline communities where access to timely emergency medical care is often limited. Whether because of underinvestment, climate disasters, state violence, or other social crises, many of our neighborhoods cannot rely on immediate emergency response. This training equips community members with the knowledge and confidence to provide life-saving care when it matters most. These life-saving medical mutual aid and first response skills are deeply rooted in the pioneering work of Black and Brown street medics who provided life-saving care in communities facing barriers to emergency medical services. The Black Radical Traditions has always taught us that liberation is holistic. Healing our people is political work. A community that can treat its own wounds, literally, is one that will survive and thrive. Bringing these skills back into our neighborhoods is more important than ever. This First Responder course is an excellent complement to any previous first aid training. However no previous training is needed. The course runs for 9 full days, with over 80 hours of focused, life saving information, practical application, and real world scenarios. Classes meet from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day, with two evening sessions that continue until 10:00 p.m. It will be held at Project South’s wooded sanctuary land in rural Georgia. Space is limited. Join us! This is for your block, your organization, and our collective movement. Someone needs to be ready when it matters most. Be that person.
