Stop The Bleed 

Stop the Bleed Training

Stop the Bleed is a nation-wide training initiative with the goal of improving survival from natural and man-made mass casualty events. Many of the deaths from these events are due to severe bleeding that could be controlled if immediate action was taken. Unfortunately, in many situations, there is a delay between the time of the injury and the arrival of a medically trained first responder. In these situations, the civilian responder can be the difference between life and death. 

Stop the Bleed training participants are trained to recognize and respond immediately to life-threatening bleeding using proven techniques for bleeding control. This class includes lecture, discussion, the demonstration of techniques, and opportunities for the participants to practice. 

This class is geared toward the untrained civilian and there are no specific requirements to attend. 

This class will teach you the following:

• Personal safety awareness while helping others;
• How to recognize truly life-threatening bleeding quickly;
• Basic bleeding control techniques including:
  • Proper application of direct pressure;
  • Tourniquet use; and Wound packing
