Bleeding Control Training (Stop the Bleed)
“Stop the Bleed is a nationwide campaign to empower individuals to act quickly and save lives.” We know that a person that is severely bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes. By training and empowering people to respond, we know that we can save lives. Legislative Act 245 requires each Public School to provide Bleeding Control Training in the required health curriculum for students in grades nine through twelve (9-12). The inclusion of Stop the Bleed will start in the 2019-2020 school year. Students will be required to have taken a Bleeding Control Training (Stop the Bleed) in health class similar to the law requiring them to be taught Hands Only CPR prior to graduating. STB is not a graduation requirement. Stop the Bleed Trainings for Law Enforcement Officers began in 2014. School Nurse trainings initially began being offered in August 2017 and have been offered around the State since then. The goal was to provide Stop the Bleed “train-the-trainer” education to ALL public School Nurses throughout the State of Arkansas. Some of the trainings provided those nurses that attended, a free Stop the Bleed Kit for each campus of their school. The School Nurses would be expected in-turn to provide Stop the Bleed Training to a minimum of 25% of their faculty/staff for each school. Trainers are allowed to train a maximum of 8 people at a time. School Nurses were expected to partner and collaborate with their local, trained professional responders and Community Health Nurse Specialist (CHNS) for additional instructor assistance for the trainings. For additional information on how to become a Stop the Bleed Instructor or for more information on trainings available, contact your local Community Health Nurse Specialist at your Educational Service Cooperative or go to the Stop the Bleed website https://www.stopthebleed.org/our-story.
