In August 2026, I designed and distributed an original one-page educational leaflet introducing the fundamentals of hands-only CPR in a clear, visually engaging, and accessible format for members of the Amish community.
Rather than simply explaining CPR steps, the leaflet addressed common misconceptions, highlighted situations where immediate action can save a life while awaiting medical assistance, and emphasized practical ways families could prepare for cardiac emergencies.
Written in simple language with illustrations and real-life examples, the resource aimed to make emergency response knowledge approachable while remaining respectful of the community's values and existing healthcare practices.
In November 2026, I also developed a four-module Cultural Practices (CPR) Trainer Handbook to help readers understand how cultural beliefs, community structures, and existing healthcare practices can influence the way emergency-response training is introduced.
The four modules covered included (1) Understanding Cultural Differences in Healthcare, (2) Introducing CPR with Cultural Sensitivity, (3) Adapting CPR Training to Community Contexts and (4) From Training to Emergency Response: Helping trainers explain what to do during an actual cardiac emergency.
The handbook was designed as a practical reference for trainers working with culturally distinct communities.
