Empowering Through Awareness: Basic Life Support  (BLS) Training Session

As part of PSF’s commitment to community welfare and social responsibility, we are proud to share the successful completion of a Basic Life Support (BLS) and First Responder Awareness program for teachers at New Model School, Hussaini Alam, South Zone, in collaboration with Hyderabad City Security Council (HCSC).

This initiative was organized under the leadership of Shri Rajashekhar Reddy, Joint Secretary – Traffic Forum, and Shri Viswa Prasad IPS, Additional Commissioner of Traffic & Convenor – Traffic Forum. Their continued support has been instrumental in enabling such meaningful collaborations.

Objective: Building Confidence, Saving Lives

Emergencies can occur anywhere, and knowing how to respond in those first few crucial minutes can make all the difference. The goal of this training was simple yet profound—to equip everyday individuals, in this case, teachers, with the skills and confidence to act as first responders until professional help arrives.

What the Session Covered

The session was thoughtfully designed to combine both theory and hands-on learning:

• Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR): A focused theory session providing deep understanding of CPR techniques.

• Hands-on Practice: Participants engaged in practical demonstrations to reinforce their learning.

• First Aid Training: Core skills to handle a variety of emergency scenarios were taught with clarity and care.

Acknowledging the Experts and Partners

Looking Ahead

This is just one of the many life-saving awareness initiatives PSF has organized over the years. With every session, we are reminded of how essential such knowledge is—not just for professionals, but for all members of society. PSF aims to expand this effort further, reaching schools, communities, and public spaces across the city, fostering a culture where safety, preparedness, and social service go hand-in-hand.

Together, let’s build a more aware, compassionate, and ready society.
