STOP THE BLEED: Prepare yourself to assist injured people following a traumatic event
Instructor: Susan Wilson, Trauma Program Coordinator
Motivated by the 2012 tragedy in Sandy Hook and multiple tragedies that have occurred in the ensuing years, the partici-pants of the Hartford Consensus concluded that by providing first responders (law enforcement) and civilian bystanders the skills and basic tools to stop uncontrolled bleeding in an emergency situation, lives would be saved.
Civilians need basic training in Bleeding Control principles so they are able to provide immediate, frontline aid until first responders are able to take over care of an injured person. Due to many situations, there may be a delay between the time of injury and the time a first responder is on the scene. Without civilian intervention in these circumstances, pre-ventable deaths will occur.

QPR-Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Training: Three steps anyone can learn to help prevent suicide.
Instructor: Sam Crouch
QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer. It is an evidenced-based training program to help you respond to someone in a mental health crisis and thinking about suicide. Participants will learn how to recognize the warning signs of suicide, offer hope, and refer to appropriate resources.
