If you need the details of self help organisations try our contacts section on this site.

It's worth learning some first aid before you need it. Everyone can learn basic CPR (resuscitation) skills. Contact one of the first aid organisations to find out how you can get practical training, it really isn't difficult, maybe you could go as a group or perhaps you can ask for training at your workplace.
