Stop the Bleed is a one hour class teaching those without a medical background how to stop life threatening bleeding. Learning these skills will SAVE LIVES!

My team teaches this class to anyone and everyone who is interested. It is completely free of charge, and we come to your location. We teach in the school system to teachers, staff, and high school age students. We teach at fire departments, police departments, businesses, large and small.

We have also utilized grant funding to distribute Stop the Bleed kits to underserved entities throughout Indiana District 8.

Please reach out to me if you are interested in bringing this class to your organization. We are more than willing to teach as many people as we can.
