The chance of surviving is much higher when they receive immediate help.
St John as most of us know are responsible for our ambulance service, however they are so much more than that; and today we are focusing on a service that some of us are aware of, but it is not as widely known as we would like and that there is a very important training which is FREE – This is a 1-hour session called 3 Steps for Life skills to save lives. It is very important that we all learn how we can be of help to those who we consider our community.
This month of October Hato Hone St John, for the third year in a row, are dedicating the entire month to educating as many kiwis as possible, across the motu, how to respond to someone having a cardiac arrest. They now name October Shocktober and will be out and about in the community offering education on 3 Steps for Life
You will find them at:
16th October at Mitre 10 Mega from 12 noon – 1pm
20th October at Seaside Market between 9am – 2pm
22nd October at St John Hall Hawera from 5.30pm
3 Steps for Life is designed to give all New Zealanders the confidence and awareness to take action when somebody suffers a cardiac arrest by:
1) Calling 111 – what to expect
2) Starting CPR - what to do and how you can start
3) Using an AED- (Automated External Defibrillator) -
This training session is so helpful and takes the mystery and uncertainty out of what needs to happen.
Justin, one of our Taranaki Community Educators talks with Marie and Graham on their Volly Voices show on Access Radio about how he works predominantly works in schools and how students are taught how to respond in an emergency. He works with year 1 – year 13; and from year 7 and up the CPR component is added. It is also interesting to learn from Justin about the other programmes that are available for our young ones – in total there are four different programmes delivered in schools.
Hato Hone St John New Plymouth offers full first Aid training locally too and if you are interested in joining one, Volunteering New Plymouth will be organising one in the near future so you can check with them about joining of one of their sessions or check St John online for their next available training.
Where can you learn more? If you are interested to learn more about Hato Hone St John, you can listen to:
Volly Voices live on Access Radio Taranaki 104.4fm on Sunday 13th October at 2pm when Justin chats about what is happening at St John and how they support the community and the training sessions they offer

This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.

She has fallen behind on her car payment (which is horrendous) and they are now going to repossess her car if she doesn’t come up the money today. Looking very likely. She works in Okato so will need another car. Is anyone looking to sell their car, and for cheap? She will have to pay it off tho, after payday, every week. She earns $800 in the hand a week, so can definitely pay it off, if anyone is willing to sell her a car, with only a small deposit, rest to be paid off. Looking around $2-2,500 or may be $3,000.
Please call or text me 022 3053705. Thank you.
Join us any Wednesday in October and November, 10am - 3pm and experience the Ryman lifestyle that awaits.
