Project: Community Preventive Health Initiative (CPHI)
Our Mission: Empowering Communities Through Prevention and Education
In public health, response is critical, but prevention is life-saving. The Community Preventive Health Initiative (CPHI), launched by YGIS, is a multi-module educational project dedicated to equipping families and individuals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to prevent injuries and respond effectively to emergencies.
Driven by youth leadership and certified expertise, CPHI bridges the gap between professional safety training and everyday community life. We believe that by transforming local residents into confident first-responders and safety-conscious advocates, we can build a stronger, safer, and more resilient community together.
📌 Our Core Educational Modules
Our initiative delivers practical, high-impact knowledge across three seasonal and essential safety domains:
Module 1: CPR & First Aid for Families (Emergency Response Skills)
Focused on the critical “golden minutes” of medical crises. This module empowers families with hands-on training in high-quality CPR (for adults, children, and infants), choking mitigation, basic wound care, and proper utilization of Automated External Defibrillators (AED).
Module 2: Winter Outdoor Safety for Families (Injury Prevention & Risk Awareness)
Tailored for winter sport environments. Led by certified ski instruction expertise, this module educates the community on recognizing alpine/snow terrain hazards, equipment safety, and injury prevention strategies to ensure families stay active and safe throughout the winter season.
Module 3: Water Safety for Families (Drowning Prevention & Water Awareness)
A comprehensive guide to safety in and around water. Utilizing Lifesaving Society frameworks, this module focuses on identifying water hazards, proper life jacket fitting, basic non-swimming rescue techniques, and cultivating drowning-prevention habits for all age groups.
💡 Why We Do It: The Impact
Injuries and medical emergencies often happen unexpectedly at home, on the slopes, or by the pool. CPHI breaks down complex professional protocols into digestible, actionable safety workshops for parents, youth, and seniors. By delivering these workshops entirely free of charge, we remove financial barriers to essential life-saving education, making public safety accessible to everyone in our community.
