CPR training has been widely available for many years now and offered in a variety of convenient ways. But what if the problem isn't physical but mental?

A driving force in this movement is the pop singer Lady Gaga, whose charitable organization, the Born This Way Foundation, has been offering the training in cities Gaga tours.
