First Aid training is important and a valuable tool for everyone — at home and in the workplace. We recently held a session of First Aid training for women in our H.E.A.L. for Work program. Through the H.E.A.L. (Hope. Empowerment. Adaptability. Learning.) for Work program, we support women who have experienced trauma by helping them build confidence, grain practical skills and take meaningful steps toward employment. The training isn’t just about safety — it’s about empowerment, independence and healing through opportunity. Learn more about H.E.A.L. here: www.dcrs.ca/our-services/employment-programs/h-e-a-l-for-work-program/#ForPeople#ForCommunities #HEALforWork #WomensEmpowerment #WorkplaceReadiness #FirstAidTraining #SkillsforSuccess #DIVERSEcity #SurreyBC #Delta ...
