A person who bleeds from a significant injury can die from blood loss within five minutes.

Stop the Bleed® is a national education campaign that teaches bystanders how to control severe bleeding from injuries. We offer training for schools, churches, nonprofit organizations, and other groups.

Stop the Bleed Classes

This in-person 90-minute class, led by UC Davis Health trauma nurse practitioners, nurses, and physicians, provides education and training on basic bleeding control.

The class size is determined by instructor availability, with a maximum of 10 students per instructor. Students will learn and practice using pressure, packing, or a tourniquet to control severe bleeding quickly. Participants will receive a certificate upon completing the training.
