“Stop the Bleed” is a nationwide awareness campaign that was launched in 2015 by the White House and Department of Homeland Security. It is designed to empower bystanders with training to deal with traumatic events and emergency bleeding situations before emergency help arrives.
The KAA first offered “Stop the Bleed” classes in July, 2017, making Killingworth the first Connecticut town to have its citizens certified. Since that time it has conducted 21 classes and had “Stop the Bleed” stations placed at the Killingworth Town Hall and Public Library.
