Stop the Bleed classes are returning to ARC. In collaboration with the Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services, we will host the second 2025 class on May 14 from 6 pm to 8pm in the Education Building.

The class is free and open to non-members, so bring friends and family. Instructors will be highly qualified members of the County Emergency Medical Services.

The class will last 2 hours approximately, so bring food if you want. The Ed building is heated and there is water available.

Stop the Bleed is a national awareness campaign that trains people to stop traumatic bleeding until professional medical help arrives. Uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death from trauma. The average time for someone to bleed out after a serious injury is only 3-5 minutes, while the average response time for first responders is 7-10 minutes. Having taken this class, I cannot recommend it enough. It includes also practical demonstrations on how to properly apply tourniquets and other stop the bleeding techniques.
