A recent Stuff article shares the story of a whānau whose journey changed in an instant when a father experienced a seizure while driving. Thanks to the quick thinking and courage of his partner, a potentially devastating situation was brought under control. Their willingness to share their experience helps to start important conversations about safety and independence when living with epilepsy.
At Epilepsy New Zealand, we thank this family for sharing their story, helping to reduce stigma, encourage understanding, and seizure awareness. Together, we can build a safer, more informed New Zealand for everyone affected by epilepsy.
