Ways In

Pick the one that fits the life you already have.

Spread seizure first aid

Print the first aid card or the teacher briefing and leave it where it will be found: a classroom, a locker room, a break room.

  • Free to print and share
  • One-page teacher briefing too

Tell one person

What a seizure can look like, and Stay. Safe. Side. It takes a minute, and it is how awareness actually spreads.

Somebody is about to be told they have epilepsy. Your story is the one that tells them their life is not over.

Share Your Story

You decide how much, and how publicly.

1. Step 1

Write it your way

Three sentences or three pages. Voice note if writing is not your thing.

2. Step 2

We edit gently

We fix typos and clarity. We never change your meaning or dramatise it.

3. Step 3

You approve it

Nothing is published until you read the final version and say yes. Anonymous is always an option.

Still deciding? Start with the smallest thing.

Forward the seizure first aid page to one person today. That alone is a contribution, and it costs you nothing.
