Do you have a difficulty facing large crowds?

Did you know that this is one of the BIGGEST obstacle people face when they encounter an emergency situation?

Think about it: You see a road traffic accident, cars stopped by the side, people standing around… yet how many of them are actually helping? Many people hesitate to be the first to step forward in such a situation because stepping in front of a crowd makes one extremely vulnerable. Especially in a life and death situation, no one wants to be the centre of attention!

Unfortunately, this causes delay in helping the casualty and many times lives are lost because people hesitate to help.

The question is, do YOU encounter this as well? If yes, this is what you can do:

EMERGENCY TIP:

1. Take a DEEP BREATHE and assure yourself that you can do this.
2. Immediately, STEP FORWARD and at the same time call for help – “Someone please assist me!”. When someone comes to you, get him or her to call the ambulance.
3. Quickly ACCESS what needs to be done at once first.
4. Stay with the casualty until the AMBULANCE arrives.

If you would like to address your personal difficulty of facing crowds, I recommend that you attend the My True Hero program. During the program, we cover activities that involve facing crowds and stepping forward to help despite large crowds. Check out what participants are saying about the program here <<.

I hope this tip is useful for you. Do keep those questions coming in.

Thank you and have a great day!
