"On-The-Go" Trainings
CPH is delivering various training sessions directly to community organizations at convenient times and locations. These are our current offerings for on-the-go trainings:
- Hands-Only CPR: On-site, hands-only CPR training ensures all employees are prepared for potential emergencies. This training can be scheduled on a "rolling basis" or as a "mini-session" in just 20 minutes.
- Mock Teen Bedroom: This interactive demonstration provides parents, educators and caregivers with increased awareness of trends in substance use to better understand how to address and process the discovery of substance use.
- NARCAN Training: This interactive 30-minute training teaches participants how to quickly recognize an opiate/opioid overdose, properly administer NARCAN and offers an in-depth discussion about stigma and the disease of addiction.
- NaloxBox: If your facility has emergency supplies such as a first-aid kit, fire extinguishers or an electronic defibrillator, consider adding a NaloxBox for opiate/opioid overdose emergencies.
- Resource Fair: Does your organization or school frequently hold resource fairs for employees or students? We are pleased to offer support with an onsite well-being representative.
- Stop The Bleed: In this course, participants will learn how to apply pressure to a wound using their hands, pack a wound, and apply a tourniquet correctly.

Read A Marathon
Every January, the Center for Population Health challenges area youth to complete a marathon — a reading marathon, that is.
The Read A Marathon program has encouraged reading among area youth for almost a decade and has become a successful strategy to increase equitable access to books and promote youth well-being literacy. Each student participating in the program will receive a race-themed reading tracker and tracking stickers to tick off each mile they "run" when they complete a book. "Runners" who complete the marathon will receive certificates of completion and a Read A Marathon Brag Tag.
