Epilepsy support groups are an opportunity to share epilepsy experiences and connect. A support group may help increase epilepsy understanding and awareness.
Local in person support groups are regional and often dependent on interest from the community.
If you would like to volunteer as a support coordinator please contact one of our educators.
