Be a Better
Bystander.
In the US, a medical emergency occurs every 11 seconds, yet less than half of the population feels confident in their ability to help. We’re here to change that.
The issue
More than 356,000 cardiac arrests happen outside hospitals each year.
Cardiac arrest, overdose, and severe bleeding do not wait for help to arrive. In marginalized neighborhoods, preventable harm grows when no trained bystander is ready to step in.

Our approach
We Save Ourselves.
We bring hands-on CPR and AED, bleeding control, opioid overdose response, and harm reduction workshops to the places where community already happens. Non-certification classes are donate-what-you-want. Certification is paid unless sponsored or grant-funded.
Our instructors are certified by the American Heart Association (AHA) and American Red Cross.
