Misericordia organizations launch free first aid courses

The Misericordia organizations in Chieti and Agliana are launching free first aid training courses to recruit new volunteers.

In Chieti, the Misericordia is opening registrations for a rescuer course starting Tuesday, September 22, at 20:30 in via Tiro a Segno. The program is open to citizens aged 16 and older, aiming to provide practical skills for managing emergencies and supporting vulnerable local populations.

Similarly, the Confraternita di Misericordia di Agliana is offering a free course open to the general public. Participants aged 16 and older will learn emergency management, wound care, resuscitation, and how to use a semi-automatic defibrillator (DAE). Successful participants will receive a certificate of participation and may choose to join the organization as base-level volunteers, assisting with socio-sanitary services or community tasks such as delivering medication and groceries.
