Here’s what you’ll learn in a Stop the Bleed course: Applying Pressure with Hands: You’ll discover how to use your hands to apply pressure to a wound, effectively controlling bleeding.
Packing a Wound: Learn the technique to pack a wound to stop bleeding.

Part of each meeting is devoted to getting to know the various organizations in the county and the services they provide. By learning about other resources, we can make strong connection now, instead of during crisis.
