| Mini Sessions |
We at Back40 believe that first aid knowledge should be accessible to everyone.
Certification is rewarding. It is also a workplace requirement. But certification is not necessary for everyone. Mini-Sessions are a great alternative for those that do not need certification or for special interest groups.
| Upcoming Public Mini-Sessions |
| Custom Mini-Sessions |
Mini Sessions are a great way to customize learning for your group. Content is tailored to:
• The group requesting (minimum # people usually = 8)
• The time frame requested
• The age range (youth, teen, adult, senior)
• The specialty (sport/activity specific, work environment, group profession)
• The extras
EXAMPLES OF 2-HOUR MINI SESSIONS:
Splints & Slings
• 3 different types of slings
• Suggestions on improvising materials
• Basic arm splint using improvised materials
Hypothermia management
• Hypothermia wraps with ropes
• Hypothermia management theory
• CPR / AED
• Non-certification CPR skills training or skills review
• AED training for workplace implementation
• See Home CPR Parties (link)
This list is not limited to these topics. If you have an idea for a mini-session we are happy to develop a lesson specifically for you and your group.

“Back40’s Wilderness first Aid should be required for all residents of Saskatchewan! If you work in remote areas, camp, fish, hunt, farm, hike, bike, walk n the city or drive on grid roads, you will find this training relevant, and potentially life saving. Typical first aid is a lot of reading, not much practice and often leaves you feeling more nervous than before. Back40’s Wilderness First Aid spends the majority of your time actually practicing skills, which not only benefits your skill level by being able to do it better, but it also boosts your confidence in your ability to apply first aid.”
