Empowering you to save a life
In critical moments, every second counts. Learn how "Stop the Bleed" training can equip you with the essential skills to control life-threatening bleeding and make a difference until professional help arrives. Your readiness can be the turning point.
What is "Stop the Bleed"?
"Stop the Bleed" training is a life-saving program designed to turn bystanders into immediate responders during a traumatic injury where every second matters. While CPR addresses the heart, this specialized training focuses on controlling life-threatening hemorrhages—the leading cause of preventable death after an injury—by teaching you how to properly apply tourniquets, pack wounds, and use direct pressure. Given that a person can bleed out in as little as five minutes, often before professional help arrives, these skills provide the vital gap-filling care necessary to keep someone alive until I or my fellow first responders can reach the scene.

Learn the proper technique for applying a tourniquet to stop severe limb bleeding effectively.

Skills you will gain
My "Stop the Bleed" training focuses on the three immediate actions required to save a life when every second counts. By the end of the course, you will have the muscle memory and technical knowledge to move from being a bystander to an active responder.
Identify life-threatening bleeding
You will learn how to quickly distinguish between minor cuts and "critical" bleeds that require immediate intervention. We cover the specific signs—such as pooling blood or soaking through clothing—that signal a life-threatening emergency.
Master direct pressure
I teach the proper technique for applying firm, steady pressure using your hands or dressings. You will understand how to maintain that pressure effectively until more advanced equipment is ready or professional help arrives.
Perform advanced wound packing
For deep injuries where pressure alone isn't enough, I provide hands-on training on how to pack a wound with gauze. This skill is vital for stopping internal hemorrhaging in areas where a tourniquet cannot be applied effectively.
