Trauma Awareness Month Events

National Trauma Survivors Day celebration seeks to draw inspiration from and provide support to survivors of traumatic injuries and their caregivers, opening the road to their recovery from trauma. During this event, we encourage all those who support these patients to write them a note of inspiration to aid in the recovery process and to share this note via social media thereby creating one strong voice for recovery from injury. 

Simply posting a message of hope and support by every one of us will create an unprecedented voice of compassion and solidarity from the trauma community on behalf of our patients and their families. 

You can participate in any of the ways below!

• Print this sign and write your words of advice or inspiration.  
• Take your picture holding the sign.
• Upload the sign to Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram with #TraumaSurvivorsDay and #NTSD
• Tag your friends and family along with your Trauma Center.
• You can also update your Facebook profile picture with our frame available here.

National STOP THE BLEED® Day Training Events – Learn to Save Lives!

Help given by an immediate responder can often make the difference between life and death. The STOP THE BLEED® Course is designed for those who have little or no medical training, but who may be called upon to provide initial trauma care and bleeding control prior to the arrival of Emergency Medical Services (EMS). This course is designed to educate and prepare community members on what to do in a bleeding emergency. It includes a live course presentation with instruction on tourniquet application, wound packing, and pressure application. This program is being taught by highly trained and experienced STOP THE BLEED® educators and trauma providers from Georgia’s Trauma System.
