When Something Goes Wrong
Will you know what to do?
Most people don't expect to find themselves in an emergency. That's exactly why preparation matters. Knowing what to do — and having practiced it before — can turn uncertainty into action.
01
Learn
Understand what needs to happen and why.
02
Practice
Build familiarity through hands-on instruction.
03
Respond
Act with greater confidence when seconds matter.
Why Don't Panic?
Clear thinking can make a difference.
When something goes wrong, most of us have one of two instincts: panic or hope somebody else knows what to do. Neither is a particularly useful emergency plan.
That's where Don't Panic Safety Training comes in. We help everyday people build practical lifesaving skills before they're standing in the middle of an emergency wishing they knew what to do.
And we don't believe serious training has to be boring. Our classes are practical, engaging, hands-on, and designed to help what you learn actually stick.
What We Teach
Training for real life.
You don't need to work in healthcare to make a difference in an emergency. You just need the knowledge, practice, and confidence to act.
CPR
Practice the skills you need to recognize and respond to a cardiac emergency when every second matters.
AED
Learn what an automated external defibrillator does, when to use one, and how it fits into an emergency response.
Training for people like you.
Training You Can Trust
Prepared to teach.
Ready to help.
Don't Panic Safety Training is an American Red Cross Licensed Training Provider, offering instruction designed to help people build practical skills they can carry into real-world emergencies.
Because a certification matters — but knowing what to do when someone actually needs you matters too.
Meet the Crew
Knowledge. Experience. Personality.
Two instructors with different backgrounds and one shared goal: helping people feel more prepared, more confident, and a little less likely to panic.
Meet Katie
Katie Casson, RN
Nurse • Safety Instructor • Educator
Katie brings a unique combination of healthcare experience, education, and a passion for helping others feel prepared when emergencies happen.
She has worked in the medical field since 2006, beginning as a nursing assistant before becoming a nurse in 2008. She is also a certified First Aid/CPR/AED instructor and homeschool educator.
For Katie, safety training is about more than earning a certification. It's about giving people the knowledge and confidence to step in when someone needs help.
Her experience has taught her the importance of staying calm, thinking clearly, and prioritizing what needs to happen first — which is exactly where the “Don't Panic” philosophy comes from.
Katie's goal is simple: educate the community and empower more people with the knowledge and skills they need to save lives.
She believes lifesaving skills are valuable for everyone, regardless of age or background, and especially hopes to inspire young people to recognize the importance of being prepared.
When she's not teaching, Katie is a homeschool mom and homesteader who enjoys reading, gardening, crocheting, airplanes, animals, and spending time with her family and friends.
Meet Heidi
Heidi-Lyn Hall, LMT
Safety Instructor • Educator • LTP with American Red Cross
Heidi loves people, loves teaching, and loves helping others. Don't Panic Safety Training just happens to bring all three together.
After choosing the homeschool life, Heidi has spent the past 11 years teaching in a variety of settings, including homeschool co-ops. She also brings more than 13 years of experience working with children and youth through ministry.
Heidi believes safety is becoming a lost art. Too often, we assume somebody else will know what to do when something goes wrong. But when an emergency happens to us or someone we love, we can't simply hand that responsibility to somebody else.
Knowledge creates confidence. Practice creates confidence. And confidence helps us act when it matters most.
Her goal is to come alongside the average Joe and help them have the confidence to know what to do when it matters most.
Heidi also believes training can be serious without being boring. Her goal is to create classes that are engaging, practical, and yes, even fun — because the more engaged you are, the more likely you are to remember what you learned when you actually need it.
When she's not teaching, Heidi can usually be found doing something. She loves crocheting, sewing, drawing, writing, singing, dressing up in ridiculous costumes, and occasionally speaking in ridiculous accents.
