The Community Care Unit (UCC) of Valença held a workshop on Pediatric Basic Life Support and Airway Obstruction at the local Health Center, aimed at parents and caregivers of children.

The session, led by nurse Sandra Neiva, a Specialist in Maternal and Obstetric Health Nursing, took place in a relaxed and participatory environment. Participants had the opportunity to acquire and practice fundamental knowledge and techniques for acting in pediatric emergency situations.
As part of the initiative, an informative leaflet was also provided, designed as quick reference material to support parents and caregivers in emergency situations until emergency services arrive.
The feedback from the training was very positive, with participants highlighting the importance of such practical initiatives and expressing interest in future sessions.
Empowering families is a fundamental contribution to promoting child health and safety, reinforcing confidence and response capacity in emergency situations.
