Stop the Bleed (Ages 12 - 18)
Get first aid training and earn volunteer credit while you're at it.
Life-threatening bleeding can happen in people injured in serious accidents or disasters. Become an immediate responder by learning how to control bleeding with ACS Stop the Bleed. You'll learn:
(1) How to use your hands to apply pressure to a wound;
(2) How to pack a wound to control bleeding;
(3) How to correctly apply a tourniquet.
These three techniques will empower you to assist in an emergency and potentially save a life.
Stop the Bleed is administered by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma and is designed to improve the care of injured patients before, during, and after hospitalization.
Participants will earn two hours of volunteer credit for attending this workshop. Registration required -- make sure you arrive on time!
Please note that the presentation includes photos of real wounds and injuries, which may be upsetting to some attendees.
