Epilepsy Outreach

Living with epilepsy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our Epilepsy Outreach programs are here to provide support, education, and advocacy—meeting people where they are and helping them thrive.

Through these services, we connect individuals, families, schools, workplaces, and communities with the tools and resources they need to better understand epilepsy and support those living with it.

Our Services

  • Seizure First Aid Training – Practical training for schools, workplaces, and community groups to respond confidently and safely during a seizure.

  • One-on-One Support – Personalized guidance and help navigating resources tailored to your unique needs.

  • Educational Resources – Easy-to-understand tools for learning about epilepsy and managing its challenges.

  • Support Groups – A welcoming space for individuals with epilepsy, families, and caregivers to share experiences and encouragement.

  • Mental Health Referral Resources – Connections to trusted counselors and therapists who understand the challenges epilepsy can bring.

  • Advocacy & Outreach – Working to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and ensure people with epilepsy are seen, supported, and empowered.
