We’re thrilled to announce this year’s STOP THE BLEED® Day, STOP THE BLEED® Month and all of the activities available for individuals and organizations to participate.
STOP THE BLEED® Day is scheduled for Thursday, May 22, 2025, during EMS Week. The EMS professional community is one of the biggest supporters of STB. May is STOP THE BLEED® Month.
This year, we are introducing a number of new activities to engage the public and the growing STOP THE BLEED® community, including the first STOP THE BLEED® Trainathon using the new STOP THE BLEED® Training Management System. Other activities include the popular Raise Your Hand and Would You Know social media programs, a STOP THE BLEED® Quiz, new STOP THE BLEED® videos and ways everyone can help to create more awareness of the campaign. Visit this page for a complete list.
This year marks the 8th STOP THE BLEED® Day, and the campaign has expanded greatly since the first one in 2018 growing from a national to an international campaign. STOP THE BLEED® is now in more than 160 countries.
Its expansion is due to the fundamental premise of STOP THE BLEED® – that regular people can learn what to do in a bleeding emergency and act to save someone’s life. It’s also due to the passionate people and organizations that continue to create more awareness and engagement. STOP THE BLEED® Day and STOP THE BLEED® Month are both great times to do that.
We hope you will participate in one (or more) of the many activities we’ve set up and engage those you know to do the same.
Setting up a Bleeding Control Kit Drive is a fun way to for a community to rally together to support the important cause.
