Sonoran Science Academy Students Training to Save Lives!

The original publication of Sonoran Science Academy Students Training to Save Lives! was done on: icsave.org

On Wednesday, March 13th, 27 Sonoran Science Academy students were trained by the Arizona Stop the Bleed Coalition. These exceptional young women and men completed the necessary educational requirements to obtain American College of Surgeon’s Bleeding Control Certification. Civilians need basic training in Bleeding Control principles so they can provide immediate, frontline aid until first responders can take over care of an injured person. Due to many situations, there may be a delay between the time of injury and the time a first responder is on the scene. Without civilian intervention in these circumstances, preventable deaths may occur. Although no single set of skills or response can fit all injury, trauma, or active violence situations, making sure everyone knows his or her options and can react decisively will save valuable time and lives. As members of our extended community family, these empowered citizens now have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to help save a life!

We want to recognize the Marana Unified School District educators who joined us Tuesday, March 12th to talk about the vitally important subjects of school safety and community resilience! Pima County is blessed to have exceptional professionals who dedicate their lives to ensuring our children receive a top-notch education, and do so in a safe and secure learning environment. Each day these men and women educate and protect our county’s 150,000 children and do so with distinction! Integrated Community Solutions to Active Violence Events (ICSAVE) led the discussion, and also provided the participants with lifesaving Bleeding Control and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Training. Civilians need basic training in Bleeding Control and CPR principles so they can provide immediate, frontline aid until first responders can take over care of an injured or ill person. Due to many situations, there may be a delay between the time of injury or illness, and the time a first responder is on the scene. Without civilian intervention in these circumstances, preventable deaths may occur. Although no single set of skills or response can fit all illness, injury, trauma, or active violence situations, making sure everyone knows his or her options and can react decisively will save valuable time and lives. As members of our extended community family, these exceptional men and women now have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to help save a life! All of us at ICSAVE send out a special thank you to the Marana Unified School District staff for assisting us with this vitally important event. From our family to yours, thank you for your service!
