Stop the Bleed Training Sessions Offered by MCC Public Safety

The MCC Public Safety Department is offering free Stop the Bleed Training to our college community including students and staff. The training is being offered at all three of our campuses, and is taught by MCC Public Safety Department employees who are certified Stop the Bleed instructors. The following information is from the Stop the Bleed website https://www.stopthebleed.org/training/ 

Why Learn? A bleeding injury can happen anywhere. We've all seen it happen too often—on the news or in everyday life. Life-threatening bleeding can happen in people injured in serious accidents or disasters. Become an immediate responder by learning how to control bleeding with ACS Stop the Bleed.

What You'll Gain from the Course: The person next to a bleeding victim may very well be the one who’s most likely to save him or her from bleeding to death. By learning how to control bleeding, you’ll gain the ability to recognize life-threatening bleeding and act quickly and effectively to control bleeding once you learn three quick techniques. Take the ACS Stop the Bleed  training course and become empowered to make a life-or-death difference when a bleeding emergency happens.

How We Teach: Our instructors will teach you live—in person, using training materials specially developed to teach bleeding control techniques. They will not only instruct you, they will be available to check your movements as you practice three different bleeding control actions. They will keep working with you until you demonstrate the correct skills to stop the bleed and save a life.

  • Tuesday, 2/11/25, Brighton Campus Empire Room, 2pm to 3pm, and 4pm to 5pm
