Stop the Bleed Class (for Children)

May 9, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Jessica will be giving the Stop the Bleed training course on Tuesday, May 9th, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m, specifically geared for children.  This training session is open to the congregation, and more classes are coming.

Please see Jessica with any questions you have and to get permission slips for anyone under 18 years old (the permission slip was also attached to the e-mail she sent)

 

The following is a course summary, and more information can be found on the Stop the Bleed website:

With 3 quick actions, you can be trained to save a life. The number 1 cause of preventable death after injury is bleeding.  That’s why we want to train you how to STOP THE BLEED®.

Why Learn?

A bleeding injury can happen anywhere. We’ve all seen it happen too often—on the news or in everyday life. Life-threatening bleeding can happen in people injured in serious accidents or disasters. Instead of being a witness, you can become an immediate responder because you know how to STOP THE BLEED®.

What You’ll Gain from the Course

The person next to a bleeding victim may very well be the one who’s most likely to save him or her from bleeding to death. By learning how to STOP THE BLEED®, you’ll gain the ability to recognize life-threatening bleeding and act quickly and effectively to control bleeding once you learn three quick techniques. Take the STOP THE BLEED® training course and become empowered to make a life or death difference when a bleeding emergency happens.

What You’ll Learn

What stops bleeding? In a STOP THE BLEED® course, you’ll learn three quick techniques to help save a life before someone bleeds out: (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.
