May 08 Wednesday
In honor of National Stop the Bleed Month, observed annually in May, Valley View will host a series of free, hands-on classes throughout the month of May to teach attendees the knowledge and tools necessary to stabilize an injured person and control severe bleeding until first responders arrive on the scene. Led by Carly DeBeque, RN, Trauma Program Manager at Valley View, Valley View’s Stop the Bleed classes will be held Wednesdays in May at Valley View Hospital in Conference Room 2A, from 5:30 p.m.- 7 p.m.
Stop the Bleed is one of the nation’s largest public health campaigns, designed to enhance anyone’s ability to take decisive, lifesaving action to assist victims with traumatic injuries such as open wounds, gunshots or bleeding injuries as a result of accidents.
Under the leadership of the Department of Defense, the Stop the Bleed campaign takes the lessons learned on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan and translates the military’s techniques for treating traumatic injuries involving severe bleeding into a hands-on course that empowers people to control bleeding until first responders arrive. Volunteers teach Stop the Bleed classes throughout the nation.
Classes are open to those over the age of 12 and teach participants how to use a tourniquet and how to locate important anatomical locations of life-threatening bleeding. DeBeque encourages everyone, and in particular, students, to attend a May event. Certification is great for college resumes. Backcountry athletes are also encouraged to take part in certification, as uncontrolled bleeding in remote locations can result in poor outcomes.
To register, email carly.debeque@vvh.org. Advanced registration is required.
Upon class completion, each attendee will be officially Stop the Bleed certified.
Join Lisa for a group read of Gary Springfield’s book Source Dialogues, a compilation of 54 channeled “conversations” with Source that were scribed by Source communicator Sondra Sneed.
In the dialogues, Source reveals the lost knowledge of how to activate the crystalline prism known as the Star Tetrahedron, with the power to create harmony, peace, abundance, and universal love for you and all of life. The dialogues will guide readers on a spiritual journey that reveals the step-by-step process to balance and align the emotional and physical bodies, which ignites the Divine Mind of the Higher Being you already are.

This class series is focused primarily on basic movements, principles, philosophy, and weapons technique: sword, short and long staff, and knife. No experience or equipment needed. Aikido is a non-violent martial art that emphasizes peaceful conflict resolution. Through body movement learned in Aikido, an attacker’s violent, aggressive energy can be avoided, re-directed, and neutralized. The practice of Aikido has many applications for physical as well as non-physical conflict. The principles of Aikido are relevant to all types of conflict that we may encounter in our daily lives. The element that separates Aikido from most martial arts is its intention to do no harm to one’s opponent. Aikido seeks to resolve conflict so that all parties walk away un-harmed and mutually satisfied with the outcome.
