Seizures can be unpredictable and seldom happen in convenient locations. A person who experiences a seizure in a park, at school, on an airplane, or any number of places may need to rely on the people around them to recognize what’s happening and help keep them safe until the seizure passes. That person can be you! Let’s Be Seizure Smart together.
How can you Be Seizure Smart? We have so many resources to educate you on seizure first aid and safety, but let’s start with the basics.
Stay with the person until they are awake and alert after the seizure.
Keep the person safe.
Turn the person onto their side if they are not awake and aware.
