On April 11, at the State University of Management, instructors from the Moscow City Branch of the All-Russian Student Rescue Corps conducted training for people with disabilities and for children and teenagers whose parents are disabled.
Participants were taught first aid skills and fire safety rules. The classes were held in a friendly and inclusive atmosphere, which allowed each participant to feel comfortable and confident.
The event was held on the initiative of the coordinator of the federal party project “United Country – Accessible Environment” in Moscow Natalia Prisetskaya and the deputy of the Moscow City Duma, head of the Moscow city branch of the VSKS, director of the Educational and training center for emergency response and basic military training of the State University of Management Maxim Dzhetygenov.
“We are pleased to join such an important project as “United Country – Accessible Environment”. The training, developed taking into account the special needs of the participants, covers a wide range of topics. The participants received not only theoretical foundations, but also the opportunity to practice the acquired knowledge. We are confident that the acquired skills will help the participants feel more confident and secure in everyday life. The “United Country” project plays an important role in creating an inclusive society, and we are proud to have the opportunity to contribute to this noble cause!” – shared Maxim Dzhetygenov.
When teaching first aid skills to rescuers, it was important not to help the training participants too much, but to teach them manipulations and techniques, to give them the opportunity to independently complete the actions, even if the wheelchair was in the way. Children with disabled parents were also taught resuscitation skills, studied first aid and, of course, asked questions of interest.
“For many years I have been working on the idea of organizing trainings where professional rescuers could show how people in wheelchairs can help save themselves and what techniques will be most effective, how to provide first aid to their loved ones, children, what can be done based on their physical condition, strength, skills. It is important to have an action plan so that a person in a wheelchair, even watching from the side, can manage the entire process of providing first aid. And it is very important for all of us to raise the level of safety culture together,” noted Natalia Prisetskaya.
The second part of the training was dedicated to fire safety. Many participants picked up a fire extinguisher for the first time in their lives and thought about the risk they expose themselves and their loved ones to every day by not following the most basic fire safety rules.
According to rescuers, trainings involve a full-fledged exchange. During practical training, it is possible to understand the approximate physical capabilities of people with disabilities and the nuances of different types of wheelchairs. Rescuers also learn more about personal boundaries and rules for comfortable communication with this category of people, and how best to interact with them.
In total, 40 trainings are planned to be held in 2025, in which more than 200 people will take part: both wheelchair users and people with other types of disabilities, their relatives and children.
