Coffee & Band-Aids is a different way to learn first aid: Practical, approachable, and designed around the emergencies parents and caregivers may face in everyday life.
Learn one topic at a time, in small Coffee Break-sized pieces that are easy to fit into a busy day. Watch, read, play, practice or learn together — with different ways to explore, understand and remember what matters.
The goal is to help you recognize when something is a real emergency, know what to do, and feel confident enough to act when those first moments matter.
Two ways to experience Coffee & Band-Aids:
LEARN TOGETHER
First-aid, fun and friends
Build first-aid skills and confidence with games, coffee and friends
Focus on one first-aid topic at a time, enjoy the learning along the way, and build confidence with every Coffee Break.
Explore Coffee Breaks, interactive scenarios, games and activities, then keep useful guides, checklists and other resources on hand for when you need them.
C&B Workshops
Get together with a small group of parents and caregivers for coffee, conversation and a very different kind of first-aid workshop.
Learn with an experienced EMT through games, scenarios, realistic props, hands-on practice and group activities — all focused on practical emergencies that matter in everyday family life.
