ABOUT THIS COURSE
– Disasters Happen-
– Be Prepared –
– Become a Healer –
We humans, our furry friends, and our farm critters are all animals. We all need the magic of healing from time to time. We all breathe, have beating hearts, eat, poop, and are made up of muscle and bone. We all require similar approaches in medical emergencies to stay healthy and survive trauma. In this course we learn about the commonalities and differences in the care and treatment of humans and critters alike. The class focuses on assessment skills, wilderness first aid, and longer term injury and health management as they apply to a variety of homestead denizens; including people, dogs, cats, goats, cows, chickens and more.
This course is fast-paced and focused, so please be prepared to show up on time & excited to participate. Class time will include significant hands-on components, scenarios, and lots of information sharing over a short time; so dress in comfortable clothes and be sure to bring note-taking supplies. Please let us know when registering if you have any limitations on movement or close, physical contact with your fellow students so we can facilitate your needs.
COURSE CONTENT
We will learn about:
-
- consent/animal handling
- primary and secondary assessment
- stabilization of major injuries
- treatment and management of minor injuries
- animal births
- basic herbs
- homestead disaster preparedness
All approaches assume that responders are in rural settings familiar to the farmer and forester, where there is more than 1 hour of response time for people and limited availability to veterinarian care. Throughout the course we will weave in important magical tools one can use to create calm and promote healing in difficult situations.
We look forward to teaching, learning, practicing, and healing with you!
