Stop the Bleed

Take Care of One Another

Learn the basics of emergency bleeding control products and techniques. The course instructor will present products and applicable skills associated with the basic Able Shepherd emergency vehicle kit to include: Scene assessment, primary assessment, wound packing, and tourniquet placement.

  • Effective August 1st, 2021 we will require that individuals testing for Protector Certification-PHASE 2 be Stop the Bleed certified.
  • Stop the Bleed certifications are good for two (2) years, upon which time individuals will need to re-certify to stay current.
  • This course is open to the public and they do not need to be in the Able Shepherd program or have taken any prior classes from us.

We feel that to “Take Care of One Another” emergency medical aid knowledge is a must.

Stop the Bleed classes are available to a member’s family at the discounted price of $100 instead of $250

If you have any questions pertaining to this Stop the Bleed requirement, please feel free to reach out to us.

Family Emergency Readiness

Everyone Has a Role

In the event of an emergency everyone has a role, even your children. We can’t expect others to know their role (ie. stay together, run, connect with mom or dad, etc.) unless we teach them. Let us help your family be prepared.

In this course students will be ABLE to utilize the following skills, with their family:

  • Linking (staying connected)
  • Bleeding control (tourniquet placement)
  • Striking
  • Movement in a crisis
  • Threat ID
  • Common verbal commands
  • Abdication prevention basics
  • Safety Consideration for the home

De-escalation Training

De-escalation involves strategies and actions designed to reduce the intensity of conflicts, whether physical, verbal, or otherwise.

Many of us have taken courses, read books, or even earned certifications in de-escalation. Yet, when faced with real-life high-pressure situations, we often draw a blank. That’s where this course comes in—we’ve created a practical and actionable approach to help you respond effectively when it matters most.
