About this Event
The Village of New Lenox and its Safe Community Coalition is offering a FREE Bleeding Control (BCON) class on Wednesday, October 9, 2024. The class will be held from 7:00pm to 8:30pm in the Community Room (lower level) of the Village Hall, 1 Veterans Parkway, New Lenox, IL.
Skills learned from completing “Stop the Bleed” training can make the difference between life and death when it comes to home injuries, work-related injuries, motor vehicle crashes or mass shootings. “Stop the Bleed” focuses on the immediate response to bleeding, recognition of life-threatening bleeding, and appropriate ways to stop bleeding. During the 90-minute session, participants will have an opportunity to practice with tourniquets, apply direct pressure to simulated wounds and learn how to pack (fill) wounds with medical gauze.
Additional questions regarding this training may be directed to Daniel Martin, Safe Community Coordinator, Village of New Lenox - [email protected] or (815) 462-6493. Additional information regarding “Stop the Bleed” can be found at https://www.bleedingcontrol.org/.
