Ever wondered what to do when someone has a seizure?
We often get asked…”What should I do when someone is having a seizure “. Follow these steps and remember to stay calm, cushion the patient with something soft, and call for medical assistance if necessary.

Witnessing someone having a seizure for the first time can be scary - but you can help keep them safe.

If you have any questions let us know in the comments or direct message us.
