Did you know... a person can bleed to death in 3 minutes?!
Stop the Bleed, a national program developed by trauma experts, is designed to teach people with little or no medical training simple techniques to stop life-threatening bleeding.
A one-hour presentation is followed by hands-on practice packing wounds and applying tourniquets on dummies. The presentation includes a 10-minute video on surviving an active shooter situation.
While active shooter situations are on everyone's mind these days, you are more likely to use these life-saving skills because of accidents in your home, on a hiking/camping trip, or on the highway.
We encourage anyone of high-school age and up to sign up. Some images on the slides and the video are graphic, so we ask that no younger children accompany you to the class.
