AWARENESS PRESENTATIONS
HEART ATTACK & STROKE AWARENESS
Research has shown that few risk factors have the largest impact on heart attacks and strokes. These risk factors contribute to the development of arteriosclerosis and heart disease and can be split into two categories: modifiable risk factors are those that a healthy life style may have a positive impact on, and non-modifiable risk factors, such as age, gender or family history.
In many countries, cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death. In Switzerland, approximately 10,000 people die of Sudden Cardiac Death (SDC), defined as unexpected death due to cardiac problems within one hour of the onset of symptoms, in the US between 300,000 and 400,000 are affected.
HEALTHY AND SAFE AWAY FROM HOME offers this presentation as part of its awareness programme, making the audience aware of risk factors and possibilities to limit these and at the same time raising awareness to symptoms of conditions like a heart attack and stroke and the appropriate first aid measures.

EPILEPSY AWARENESS
Epilepsy is an illness affecting approximately 70,000 people in Switzerland (of which around 15,000 are children), or more than 50 million people worldwide. Two-thirds of these cases can be treated with anti-convulsive medications.
To this day, there are still many preconceptions about epilepsy. The goal of awareness raising organisations and presentations is for the public to understand what epilepsy is and how it can affect people's lives and at the same time showing that epilepsy is NOT a mental illness or a sign of low intelligence.
