With recent events in our city and threats against our community, we offer a free Stop the Bleed Course. As an LGBTE Certified Company, we recognize that our community may not always have access to training programs like this. This course is to teach the layperson how to save lives in situations where a victim is bleeding severely.
The Stop the Bleed Campaign started in response to the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. The goal was to empower people with the knowledge to respond to injuries that occur during violent incidents.
What You’ll Learn
What stops bleeding? In a STOP THE BLEED® course, you’ll learn three quick techniques to help save a life before someone bleeds out: (1) How to use your hands to apply pressure to a wound; (2) How to pack a wound to control bleeding; (3) How to correctly apply a tourniquet. These three techniques will empower you to assist in an emergency and potentially save a life.
Who Can Take the Course
A STOP THE BLEED® course is for people who are interested in learning this lifesaving skill. The American College of Surgeons STOP THE BLEED® campaign has trained over 1 million people including students, teachers, and community groups. We are committed to training anyone who is old enough to understand what the course teaches and is interested in learning how to STOP THE BLEED® and save a life.
