Stop the Bleed is a national awareness campaign and training program, initiated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and led by the American College of Surgeons, that teaches bystanders how to control life-threatening bleeding in emergencies until professional help arrives, using techniques like applying direct pressure, packing wounds, and using tourniquets to prevent preventable deaths from severe blood loss. It empowers ordinary people with simple skills to act as "immediate responders" in mass casualty events, accidents, or violence, recognizing that bystanders are often the first on the scene.
