On November 14, 2019, my daughter's high school experienced a mass shooting. Children died. Don't think that "it cannot happen to you." Because of my family experience and the current culture crisis, I just went through training with "Stop the Bleed" to get certified and become an instructor. This is valuable training for how to manage large bleeds in an emergency trauma situation whether it be a mass shooting or car accident, etc. The training is FREE! You can watch the training video online and take the quiz for free--it takes about 25 minutes. If you want the actual certification, you need to take the hands-on course which takes about 60-90 minutes, and the in-person course is also FREE! If you don't have a trauma kit, they show you how to stop bleeds with a T-shirt, so why not go through free, concise, and such useful training? Who should do the training? Anyone that is old enough to understand it. In terms of youth and watching the online video, I think it would be helpful for some elementary students by 4th-5th grade if the parents are okay with the uncomfortable topic of trauma management.

There is a national movement to put bleed kits at every AED station across the country--some schools and venues already have them in place. Stay ahead of the curve--prepare and get trained.
