Stop the Bleed Trainings
Stop the Bleed was started in 2015, after the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. “Hemorrhage control” or bleeding control was one of the most important factors in saving lives that day. Whether at home or out in public, knowing how to control bleeding can make a life-or-death difference when the need arises. “Every day, we are showing how STOP THE BLEED® can save lives across the globe.
Le Bonheur’s Trauma Services team offers group trainings on bleeding control. For more information or to schedule a training for your group (work, church, school, etc.), please fill out the form below and someone will contact you to set up a Stop the Bleed training.
