Community Safety Series: Stop the Bleed

For Adults and Teens ages 15 and older.

Accidents happen in an instant, and getting help for the wounded in a timely manner is critical. STOP THE BLEED is the result of a collaborative effort led by the American College of Surgeons Committee to bring knowledge of bleeding control to the public, essentially to train bystanders to take life-saving action if needed until professional help arrives. The skills you learn in this 90 minute class can help save a life!

The Lewisboro Volunteer Ambulance Corps (LVAC) is sponsoring and leading this class, which will instruct community members in the proper methods to control active bleeding in an emergency situation using tourniquets, applying direct pressure and wound packing.

This class is part of a Community Safety Series coordinated by the Lewisboro Library, LVAC, and the Town’s Emergency Management Committee. Additional safety workshops will be offered in the fall.
