Class Details

Stop the Bleed – Bleeding Control Class

Stop the Bleed is a grassroots national awareness campaign and call-to-action from the American College of Surgeons, encouraging bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.

No matter how fast professional emergency responders arrive, bystanders will always be first on the scene. Those nearest to someone with life-threatening injuries are best positioned to provide first care. This class follows the official Stop the Bleed ABC framework: Alert 911, assess the bleeding, and Control it with pressure, wound packing, or a tourniquet. Cost is $25 per seat.
