My past work as a first aid instructor taught me how easy it is for regular people to save lives through basic knowledge of bleeding control. 

 

You don't have to be an expert, or do first aid perfectly - any action you take to stop bleeding makes a person more likely to live.

 

I encourage everyone to take an official #StopTheBleed course (see below). In the meantime, you can start with just a few minutes of learning.

 

I've compiled key messages from courses I've taken in resources here.

Take a #StopTheBleed Class:

• Red Cross 30-minute course - $30

• First Care Providers - Free (requires a slightly longer attention span)

• Where conditions allow, I recommend also taking an in-person class to practice skills.
