Emergencies don't wait for the right person to show up. When a baby stops breathing or a child starts choking, the person in the room is the one who has to act. Talia's Class gives you free, hands-on training in infant, child, and adult CPR and choking first aid, so that person is ready. In memory of Talia Zahava.
Emergencies happen in living rooms, classrooms, and at the dinner table, with the people we love most. Help is on the way, but the person who is already there is the one who matters in those first minutes.
Our mission is to train as many people as we can in infant, child, and adult CPR and choking first aid, so that wherever an emergency happens, someone in the room knows what to do.
Every person who learns is one more life that could be saved.
Talia's Class is named for Talia Zahava, who was two months old when she passed away. Every class we teach is in her memory.
Cost should never be the reason someone doesn't learn. Every class is free to attend.
You practice the skills yourself instead of just watching, so they stick when it counts.
Parents, grandparents, babysitters, teachers, neighbors. If you care for someone, this class is for you.
Our hands-on classes cover everything you need to know to respond in an emergency, taught by certified instructors in a calm, supportive setting.
The technique that matters most when a baby isn't breathing — taught with the gentleness and precision an infant requires.
How to perform CPR on a child — including the right compression depth, rate, and rescue breath ratio for their size.
How to respond when an adult collapses: hands-on compressions with the right depth and rhythm to keep blood flowing until help arrives.
What to do when someone can't breathe — back blows, chest thrusts, abdominal thrusts, and what to do if they go unconscious.
Cardiac arrest and choking are sudden. Help is rarely instant. The minutes between the emergency and the ambulance are the minutes that decide the outcome — and they belong to whoever is in the room.
Your gift helps us reach more parents, grandparents, and caregivers, so more people know what to do when it matters most.
