In houses of worship and faith-based organizations, preparedness for medical emergencies is an act of compassion and responsibility. Stop the Bleed® training equips everyday people with the skills needed to take immediate, life-saving action during bleeding emergencies—providing critical care in the moments that matter most, until professional help arrives.

Stop the Bleed focuses on empowering individuals to respond calmly, decisively, and effectively, without requiring advanced medical training.

Become a Lifesaver

• Learn the essentials
  Participants learn simple, proven techniques to control severe bleeding, including applying direct pressure, using tourniquets, and packing wounds. The focus is not on advanced medicine, but on knowing what to do and having the confidence to act.

• Equip yourself to respond
  Training emphasizes the importance of having bleeding control supplies readily accessible. Compact Stop the Bleed kits can be stored in vehicles, bags, workplaces, and places of worship, enabling rapid response when emergencies occur.

• Strengthen your community
  By sharing knowledge and encouraging others to receive training, participants help build a culture of readiness and care. The more people equipped to respond, the more resilient the community becomes.

Key Principles of Response

  Severe bleeding can be life-threatening within minutes. Prompt, informed action can significantly improve outcomes and save lives.

• Stay calm and focused
  Training emphasizes clear thinking under pressure—pausing to assess the situation and applying skills methodically.

• Activate emergency services
  Stop the Bleed training reinforces the importance of calling for professional medical assistance while providing immediate care.
