Stop The Bleed ®

The STOP THE BLEED® program—developed by the Stop the Bleed Coalition in partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense—empowers everyday bystanders to become immediate responders by learning to control severe, life-threatening bleeding until professional help arrives. Drawing from battlefield lessons in Iraq and Afghanistan, this evidence-based training saves lives in everyday emergencies, accidents, or disasters.

Students will learn:

What STOP THE BLEED® is and why it matters
How to recognize life-threatening bleeding
How to stop life-threatening bleeding using proven techniques (direct pressure, wound packing, and tourniquets)
How to get STOP THE BLEED® ready (preparation and resources)
Available STOP THE BLEED® resources for individuals and communities

The class is straightforward and practical: typically about one hour, combining a clear lecture with hands-on practice. Upon successful completion, participants earn an official U.S. Department of Defense STOP THE BLEED® Certificate.
