Skills that protect the people you love

Short, interactive trainers for the practical skills school never taught you — recognising scams, restarting a stopped heart, reading the news without being played, and being there on someone's worst night.

The letter you cannot read

An official letter you cannot work out — yours, or somebody's you help? Mark what you can see, no reading needed, and get what kind of letter it likely is, where the binding lines sit on the page, and the phone words that need only the reference number.

15 minutes

Nothing must be decided tonight

Just had a serious diagnosis — yours, or somebody's you love? Mark the decisions pressing on you and see what each is actually waiting for: a real date you can find out, a named event that brings the missing information, or nothing but your own readiness.

20 minutes

Where the water comes from

Damp, mould, or a wall that will not dry? Mark what you can actually see and when it is worst — and see which causes the pattern fits, the one observation that separates them, which side of the fix is the building's, and the report to send.

20 minutes

The day you cannot be there

Looking after somebody who cannot manage alone? Say what the week contains and who else could do each part tomorrow — and see what has exactly one person behind it, how fast each of those fails, and the smallest handover that would survive a week without you.

20 minutes

My name on it

A guarantee, a joint loan, a card somebody else uses? Mark what your name is on and what you could actually prove — and see how far each one reaches, the question to ask for every gap, and what you can cap today without anybody's agreement.

20 minutes

What is actually agreed

Separating, and arranging everything in a kitchen? Sort the sixteen decisions into agreed, disputed and never discussed — and see which of your disputes are really one argument.

20 minutes

The money stopped

Income gone and a fortnight of fast decisions? Some can be undone this afternoon; some close a door for good. Sort the moves you are weighing, and see the reversible substitute for each one.

15 minutes

The paper at the door

Told to leave your home? A notice is not an eviction. See which stage the paper actually is, and everything that still has to happen before anyone could remove you.

15 minutes

What this meeting can end in

Called to a meeting about your own job? These are decided by procedure. See what today can end in, what cannot yet, and the line to send for what the letter left out.

15 minutes

The thing only you saw

Everybody who notices something assumes somebody else already knows. Find out which piece nobody else can possibly hold — and what to say.

14 minutes

Small, or not growing?

One weight says almost nothing. Report the three things you can actually see — what goes in, what comes out, how they are — and find out whether they agree.

14 minutes

Medicine monitoring — prepare your review

Keep a record of the tests and follow-up your care team has arranged. Use it to ask who will book each check, when it is due and who will explain the result.

Printable notes

Where you are when it happens

A seizure is ninety seconds and stops on its own. The bath is what kills, not the fit. Sort your own week by what it would cost.

14 minutes

Recover in the right order

Hacked or locked out? The order decides whether you get the accounts back. Mark what you still hold and see the sequence.

14 minutes

The explanation you reached for

Nobody waits two hours because they do not know the symptoms. They wait because indigestion fits. See what your story does not cover.

13 minutes

Count the cups

Every estimate of what somebody ate and drank runs at double. Count one ordinary day in containers, and see which single swap closes the gap.

13 minutes

Twenty hours on one patch

Pressure sores come from hours, not carelessness. See which patch of skin the day is loading, and which single change takes the most off.

13 minutes

Heavy is not a number

Adjectives do not get written down. Turn what you would say about heavy or painful periods into the counts that get recorded.

14 minutes

Before you sign

A signature is not consent. Mark what you could actually say back, and see which pieces of the decision you are missing.

14 minutes

What can be undone

The care-home week mixes the reversible decisions in among the ones that cannot be taken back. Sort them by what undoing each costs.

13 minutes

Doubled from what?

“It doubles your risk” is half a number. Put in the figure you were given and see it in people — or find out why it cannot be read yet.

13 minutes

Write down what would change your mind

Home after an operation, with a leaflet that says some redness is normal. Get the triggers written down and the measurements taken while nothing is wrong.

13 minutes

The windows nobody tells you about

Almost everything you can claim when you are ill expires. See which window closes first, which have already gone, and the one thing to do today.

13 minutes

Ten minutes, and the thing you came for

A short appointment holds less than people think. See what fits in the minutes you get, what to book separately, and the sentence to open with.

13 minutes

Is this a scam?

Train on real-looking texts, calls and emails until the tricks are obvious.

15 minutes

Push hard, push fast

Hands-only CPR in 10 minutes, with a rhythm trainer at 110 beats per minute.

10 minutes

Spot the spin

See through framing, cherry-picked numbers and outrage bait in news and social feeds.

15 minutes

Ready for 72

Get your household through a 72-hour blackout, storm or outage — after one afternoon of preparation.

One afternoon

The leaflet is not the answer

“Do not use in pregnancy” almost always means nobody ran the trial. Sort everyone who told you something by what each can actually settle — and see the one nobody has asked.

13 minutes

Twenty minutes of cool water

The treatment that works takes twenty minutes and almost nobody does it. Count what is still owed — and sort the butter, the ice and the film into keep or undo.

13 minutes

The two that look the same

A hypo and ketoacidosis look alike and need opposite treatment. Weigh what you can see — and learn the rule for when you cannot tell.

13 minutes

They were not like this last week

Confusion that arrives in days is not dementia. Mark what changed and how fast — and see the quiet form that gets written down as “settled”.

13 minutes

Blood-pressure measurement checklist

Prepare your next home blood-pressure reading. Check the technique, print your checklist and learn how to keep a record for your clinician.

Checklist

The number nobody explained

A kidney result is an estimate with wide error bars. Put in two of them and see the direction — and whether the change is bigger than the test's own variability.

13 minutes

Who do we call at three in the morning?

The last days at home: which changes are the illness, which need a call, and who is actually allowed to do what — including what 112 will do.

13 minutes

Is this normal for today?

After a birth, the same sign means different things on day two and day twelve. Read the calendar against the symptom — and know what never depends on it.

13 minutes

The house does not need you to lose every time

The edge is charged on everything you stake. See what stopping after each round would have left you with — and whether you kept your own limit.

12 minutes

The days you cannot skip

Concussion harm is in the fortnight after, not the knock. Which route back reaches the pitch sooner — and which reaches recovery sooner?

12 minutes

The knock after the loss

Grief is targeted deliberately. Measure how much an approach depends on your deciding now — and what a delay does not fix.

13 minutes

Nobody is holding the thread

Discharge is where things get dropped. For every open loop: who owns it by name, and by what date?

13 minutes

Missed a dose — prepare for medicine-specific advice

The answer depends on the exact product and prescribed regimen. Have the packet and leaflet ready. Record what happened so a pharmacist or prescriber can help you decide what to do.

Printable notes

The hour that decides it

A knocked-out tooth can go back in — if you hold the crown, never scrub it, and act in minutes. Rehearse it now.

13 minutes

The sight you lose without noticing

Pain does not measure urgency. Sort any eye symptom into minutes, today, days or book it — and know the silent ones.

13 minutes

The scan that explains nothing

Most pain-free spines look abnormal on a scan. What that means for your back — and the one emergency.

13 minutes

The number nobody counts

A glass of wine at home is roughly two. Translate what you pour into grams, and learn when stopping suddenly is the danger.

13 minutes

The third of your life

The treatment for long-term insomnia is not a tablet. Work out your sleep window, and what to rule out first.

13 minutes

The attack that looks manageable

Four questions that predict an asthma attack, the sentence to take to your doctor, and the ten-puff routine.

12 minutes

Cold kills slowly

A cold room causes strokes weeks later. The temperatures that matter, and what €20 actually buys in warmth.

12 minutes

Too many pills

A drug causes a symptom, the symptom gets its own drug. Follow the chain, and learn the five questions that shorten the list.

12 minutes

The one you cannot smell

Carbon monoxide is recognised by a pattern, not a smell. Tell it apart from a winter virus, and know what to do.

11 minutes

Not just getting older

Which changes are ageing and which are worth an appointment — and which look-alikes are curable.

13 minutes

Hold the pressure

Severe bleeding kills in minutes. Where to press, when a tourniquet belongs, and why you never lift the dressing to look.

11 minutes

Say it in Romanian

The labour inspectorate answers only in Romanian. Fill in what happened and get your complaint written out in Romanian, with an English version beside it.

10 minutes

Four dates that decide

Working in Romania on a permit? When can you change employer, and how long can you stay after a job ends? Put in four registered dates and find out.

4 minutes

Which door to knock on

Working in Romania and something is wrong — unpaid, overcharged for a bed, passport held? Find the authority that handles it, and your county inspectorate's direct line.

6 minutes

Before it compounds

The debts that shout loudest can usually hurt you least. Sort what you owe by consequence, and find the pause you can ask for.

12 minutes

The hour that counts

Sepsis looks like something else every time. Learn the rate of change, the red flags, and the sentence to say.

12 minutes

The third place

Which of the three kinds of loneliness is actually missing, and the one thing that works instead of "get out more".

12 minutes

The keys

Rehearse the driving conversation with an ageing parent, and see where each opening sentence leads.

12 minutes

You only get one set

How long that noise is safe, why ringing means damage, and the hearing loss that must be treated within days.

12 minutes

The heat is the emergency

When to open the windows and when to shut them, and the sign that turns hot weather into a 112 call.

11 minutes

Adrenaline first

Which symptoms mean anaphylaxis, why the pen comes before everything else, and why they must not stand up.

11 minutes

What they swallowed

Button batteries, magnets, pills: which swallowed things cannot wait for symptoms, and what never to do.

11 minutes

The long nights

Where your baby is on the crying curve, the three safe-sleep rules, and what to do at the end of your rope.

12 minutes

Not just bad luck

A fall has causes you can treat. Test your legs in thirty seconds, and see why being careful makes it worse.

12 minutes

You won't be in trouble

Watch a grooming conversation unfold message by message — and learn the sentence that makes a child tell you.

12 minutes

Believe them first

What to say when someone tells you they're being hurt at home — and why "just leave" is the wrong advice.

12 minutes

Two minutes

Modern homes burn fast. Where alarms go, why closed doors save lives, and a printable escape plan.

10 minutes

Drowning is silent

There is no shouting and no waving. See what it really looks like — and what to do without becoming the second casualty.

10 minutes

Time is brain

Spot a stroke in thirty seconds, and know what never to do in the ten minutes after.

10 minutes

Keep them working

When antibiotics help, when they don't, and the questions that get you better care.

12 minutes

The envelope

One evening of preparation so your family isn't locked out of your phone, accounts and wishes.

One evening

Be there

What to say — and what not to — when someone you love is in a suicidal crisis.

A guide to keep

Why this exists

School teaches algebra; it rarely teaches you how to recognise a scam call, restart a stopped heart, read the news without being manipulated, or sit with someone through their worst night. Humanity — Omenie in its original Romanian, the word for human kindness — is a small collection of free, interactive trainers for exactly those skills.

It is built first for Romania, where practical education is hardest to come by, and offered in Romanian, English and Dutch. Everything works on any phone, can be printed, and belongs to everyone.
