The students of the PG & Research Department of Social Work, Sacred Heart College (Autonomous), Tirupattur, actively participated in a National Level Two-Day Workshop on the Role of Young Volunteers in Disaster Crisis Situations. The event was organized by the YMCA National Council and held at the YMCA College of Physical Education, Chennai, on 20th and 21st November, 2025. A total of 15 postgraduate students attended the workshop. During the two-day workshop, the students were introduced to a comprehensive set of disaster management skills that every young volunteer should know. They learnt the basics of first aid, including how to treat minor injuries, manage bleeding, and provide immediate care in emergencies. The sessions also covered rescue and recovery skills, helping the students understand how to safely approach and assist victims during crisis situations. One of the major components was CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation), where students practiced the correct steps to revive an unconscious person. They were taught various types of knots, which are essential for rescuing people during floods or other emergencies. Demonstrations were given on different methods of lifting, carrying, and shifting injured persons without causing further harm. The trainers explained the role of youth volunteers in relief camps, including crowd management, distribution of essentials, and providing emotional support. Students also learnt how youth can play an important part in any crisis situation by acting quickly and responsibly. The sessions provided a broad understanding of the nature of disasters, the stages of the disaster cycle, and how communities can prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. They also gained insights into the roles of government agencies, NGOs, and private organizations during emergencies. A major highlight of the program was the practical demonstration conducted by the Chennai Fire Service Department. Students witnessed real-life rescue methods, firefighting techniques, and emergency response procedures, which strengthened their understanding of disaster operations. Each participant received a certificate of participation and a T-shirt with the YMCA logo, symbolizing their involvement and successful completion of the training. Dr. K. Arockiaraj, Faculty Member from the Department of Social Work, accompanied the students throughout the workshop.
