With three quick actions, you can be trained to save a life. The number one cause of preventable death after an injury is bleeding. That's why we want to provide you with STOP THE BLEED training. A bleeding injury can happen anywhere. 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.
