In summary, Stop the Bleed is a course designed to teach the lay person the critical few skills necessary to provide immediate treatment for life threatening bleeding.  Death from severe bleeding is often times preventable and we want to teach people how to do that for their benefit, their families benefit and the communities benefit.
