What is Stop the Bleed?
Stop the Bleed is a national campaign that teaches proper steps and techniques to prevent severe blood loss due to hemorrhaging or any other incident that could occur in day to day life. Instructors will teach students how to apply pressure to a wound, utilize blood clotting tools, and how to apply a tourniquet.
Why Learn?
A bleeding injury can happen anywhere. We’ve all seen it happen too often—on the news or in everyday life. Life-threatening bleeding can happen in people injured in serious accidents or disasters. Become an immediate responder by learning how to control bleeding with Stop the Bleed course.
What You’ll Gain

How It’s Taught
Instructors will teach you live—in person, using training materials specially developed to teach bleeding control techniques. They will not only instruct you, they will be available to check your movements as you practice three different bleeding control actions. They will keep working with you until you demonstrate the correct skills to stop the bleed and save a life.
