STOP THE BLEED®: 3 quick actions that may save a life!
The #1 cause of preventable death after injury is bleeding. Instead of just being a witness to an emergency you can become an immediate responder and potentially save a life!
In this hands-on class you'll learn to recognize life-threatening bleeding and act quickly and effectively to control bleeding using three quick techniques.
STOP THE BLEED® is sanctioned by the American College of Surgeons and you will receive a certification upon successful completion of the class. Our instructors are local health care professionals Elaine Roy and Shari Graham.

QPR Training - Suicide Prevention
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer — the 3 simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide.
Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor.
