Red Cross Sint Maarten is proud to announce the launch of a brand-new virtual campaign in partnership with the American University of the Caribbean (AUC), "Red
Cross First Aid Awareness featuring AUC Stop the Bleed’.”
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the Red Cross interactions with the public, educational programs, and awareness campaigns have been put on hold during the past year. Therefore, Red Cross Sint Maarten invites the public to follow and join on Facebook or YouTube for the first-of-its-kind, live-streamed series, “Red Cross First Aid Awareness Campaign featuring AUC ‘Stop the Bleed.” The series will commence September 11, 10 am-11 am and will give everyone completely free access to the live series on Facebook and Youtube.
Through the initiative, Red Cross Sint Maarten will showcase multiple live demonstrations throughout September and October 2021. During the series, a Red
Cross certified trainer demonstrates First Aid live in order to create awareness about how to become trained in life-saving techniques.
AUC will feature the “Stop the Bleed” program within the Red Cross series. “Stop the Bleed” is a global awareness program intended to promote and encourage
bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.
For individuals who would like to join us in person, click on the "in-person" invitation link on the Red Cross Sint Maarten Facebook page or the AUC Facebook page. In-person attendees will receive a tactical tourniquet and certification from The American College of Surgeons. Due to Covid-19 safety guidelines seating space is limited for each event in our series.
Go to the Facebook pages of Red Cross Sint Maarten and American University of the Caribbean to join the live-streamed event on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021, at 10 am.
