History of STOP THE BLEED®
In 2012, there was an active shooter event with 20 children and adult casualties at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. Following this, a local surgeon who was Chair of the Connecticut State Committee on Trauma convened a panel of experts later known as the Hartford Consensus. With the goal to improve victim survival following mass shootings and other acts of mass violence, STOP THE BLEED®, a national public awareness campaign was created and launched in October of 2015
.
Since the creation of the STOP THE BLEED® program, it has continued to grow with the first publicly introduced bleed control training courses in 2016. Thousands of individuals have since been trained and medical professionals to become course trainers.
