A Second Breath for New Beginnings
Meet Second Breath Response:
We know that in an emergency, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why we created a hands-on training program right here in Abbotsford that focuses on action. Through our "Overdose Prevention Relay," we help teams practice exactly what to do—so when an emergency happens, the body knows how.

Modern Century First Aid:
Studies in emergency medicine show that in high-stress situations, individuals experience "Cognitive Tunneling." Without physical practice, the brain often fails to recall written instructions, leading to a 40–60% delay in emergency response times.
The Solution:
The Second Breath "Kinetic" Method
Our signature Overdose Prevention Relay uses the principles of Stress Exposure Training (SET) to move knowledge from short-term memory to muscle memory.
OH&S Training
We provide professional Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) training to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to create safe and healthy work environments. Our certified courses are tailored to meet industry standards and regulations.
Key Benefits of Our Hands-On Approach
Reduced Response Latency: Participants who have physically used a trainer device (Nasal or IM) respond up to 3x faster in real-world scenarios.
- The "Muscle Memory" Advantage: By physically moving through the SAVEME
- protocol, the body learns to react even when the mind is under stress.
- Addressing the "Post-Revival" Window: We train for what happens after the Naloxone works—managing potential combativeness and the "Second Drop" risk (when Naloxone wears off before the opioid does).
