Stop the Bleed: Join Us for Training Courses That Can Save Lives

In an emergency, minutes count. Severe hemorrhaging can lead to death in as little as five minutes, but knowing when and how to use a tourniquet can save lives.

Stop the Bleed is a national program that teaches appropriate tourniquet use and bleeding control. The program offers instructor and participant courses that each take less than 90 minutes to complete. It’s time well spent, as the skills acquired can mean the difference between life and death during active shooter events, car accidents or even accidents at home.

In the instructor course, you’ll learn how to teach others the skills they need to control bleeding. Topics include pressure application, improvised tourniquets, wound packing and formal tourniquet application.

In the participant course, you’ll learn how to correctly apply pressure, how to pack a wound to control bleeding and how to apply a tourniquet correctly.
