New Lenox Village Hall

<h4>The New Lenox Safe Community Coalition is offering a FREE Bleeding Control (BCON) class on Tuesday, May 6, 2026.</h4> The class will be held from 7:00pm to 8:30pm in the Community Room (lower level) of the New Lenox Village Hall.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.<h4>No experience needed - just a desire to help during an emergency.</h4>LEARN TO:<ul><li>Identify Severe Bleeding: Recognize life -threatening bleeding quickly.</li><li>Control Bleeding: Use tourniquets, pressure, and wound packing.</li><li>Act Fast: Provide life-saving care before help arrives.</li></ul><h4> </h4><h4>Stop the Bleed is a national public awareness and training campaign started by the White House in 2015 to encourage the general public to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.
