Stop the Bleed
Uncontrolled bleeding can become life-threatening in just a few minutes. The person standing nearby is often the one who can make the biggest difference.
Stop the Bleed® training teaches simple, lifesaving techniques that anyone can learn and use during an emergency.
Participants will learn how to:
- Recognize life-threatening bleeding
- Apply direct pressure
- Pack a wound properly
- Apply a tourniquet
- Take action until emergency responders arrive
This training is ideal for schools, businesses, community groups, and anyone interested in learning basic emergency response skills.
