Thank you to StreetDoctors for an impactful bleed control session at our youth centre! Creative Optimistic Visions We’re incredibly grateful to the StreetDoctors team for delivering an engaging and informative session with our young people. Teaching them vital first aid skills and how to respond to a bleed not only empowers them with life-saving knowledge but also builds confidence in staying calm during emergencies. The session was a real eye-opener for many, sparking meaningful conversations about safety, responsibility, and community. It’s clear the impact of these sessions goes far beyond the practical skills taught – it fosters resilience and awareness among young people. Thank you again, StreetDoctors for your dedication to equipping young people with tools to save lives and make a difference. 💜 #YouthEmpowerment #StreetDoctors #CommunityImpact
