What Happens at a WEMA?
Kids have fun while learning to help an injured
victim. For example...
- Does the youngster know how to call 911 and / or how to
talk to the injured person in a calm and reassuring manner?
- Does he/she know what to do and what NOT to do when a
problem is one of the BIG THREE ( BREATHING, BLEEDING, or BUMPED HEADS )?
- Perhaps the victim has BROKEN BONES, BITES AND STINGS
or BURNS AND BLISTERS. Would the child know what to do and what NOT to do in these
situations?
There are lot's of hands-on activities during a WEMA presentation and time passes very quickly. Toward the end of
the hour, the group helps create a simulated accident, including putting make-up on the
victim, inventing a story to tell the rescuer (the WEMA
instructor), and the actually locating the help needed (Me!)
At the conclusion of the WEMA,
the group is de-briefed and given a WEMA wallet card along
with a copy of a WEMA book.
