Do
you know what to do if you see someone having a big seizure?
How You Can Help
- Don't be afraid -
stay calm, the person will be okay
- Stay with the person
- Don't try to stop
them from shaking
- Look at the time when
the seizure starts - if you can
- Move any toys or objects
out of the way, so they don't hurt themselves
- Put something soft
under their head, like a rolled up jumper
- If you can, when the
shaking stops, turn them on their side in
the recovery position - and tilt their head
back slightly
- Get help - call a
grown-up and do what they ask you to do
- If there is no grown-up,
call 000, tell them that you need an ambulance
and where you are
- Stay with the person
until the ambulance arrives
To get help, call an ambulance (000 in Australia)
