About us

“ We do what we do, not because of what happens today! But what will happen in the lives of those we are blessed to be involved with, be it as a clinician, an educator or mentor.”

We develop educational solutions with our clients that are creative, sometimes provocative, always practical, and, above all, engaging!

AEP & Associates is a family-owned small business. We were established to bridge the gap in emergency medical care for the layperson and emergency services. Our team is comprised of paraprofessionals who are actively working in Emergency Services, providing care to those in need. AEP & Associates has the unique ability to see firsthand how people respond to emergencies. This experience is brought to the classroom so that awareness can be instilled in the participants who choose our services.

Our guiding principle is to provide an education that empowers individuals to "feel" they can take action if an unfortunate event should occur in their presence. We sincerely believe people want to help; however, sometimes they lack the knowledge of what steps they should take. Our goal and mission:

Awareness: Through our education, we create individual awareness to navigate an emergency

Experience: Our classroom sessions provide an experience that leads to confidence

Prepare: our proactive approach prepares learners, which leads to improved outcomes

These elements lead to individual awareness, create individual confidence, and improve outcomes.

Our shared experiences and belief in Christ give us a unique opportunity to offer these services. While we may not know who will be affected by this education and knowledge, we are blessed to understand that these services have a greater influence than we can see or feel.
