SELF RESPONDER
The threat has been neutralized and people are bleeding out, what do you do?
Self Responder is a trauma centric first aid course that will teach you the skills needed to save your life and the lives of others after a potentially fatal incident. Traumatic injury is one of the leading causes of death for people under 50 in the US. A significant portion of those deaths are from severe bleeding – a preventable cause of death due to trauma. This class will use simunition pistols and moulage to simulate scenario based training. This is a scenario based course.
This course is meant for participants of all skill and fitness levels. Firearms, live weapons, or blades are not required for this course.
