This Red Cross training equips participants with essential knowledge and hands-on skills to recognize and respond to severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). The class focuses on the safe and effective use of epinephrine auto-injectors (e.g., EpiPen) and the immediate first aid steps required during a life-threatening allergic emergency. Participants will gain the confidence to act quickly and appropriately to help save lives. A Red Cross certificate will be provided on successful completion of the class.
