The STOP THE BLEED® Project was founded to develop programs that engage people and organizations so they get involved, take action and help the campaign grow. The Project is a public/private collaboration involving a wide range of non-profit organizations, government agencies, companies and individuals who all believe in the importance of the STOP THE BLEED® campaign. There are currently active STOP THE BLEED® training programs in every U.S. state and territory and in 114 countries.
STOP THE BLEED® is an official program of the U.S. Department of Defense. The program is designed to train and equip the public to be able to treat traumatic injuries involving severe bleeding until the first responders arrive. It is based on lessons learned by the DoD during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan on how best to control severe bleeding.
The Coalition is a proud supporter of the STOP THE BLEED® project, providing financial and other resources to the programs described below.
