See the Person – Looking beyond the label
Epilepsy New Zealand has launched a new video campaign – See the Person
Whether you’re a family member, friend, colleague, caregiver, or someone who has witnessed a seizure, your perspective is important and your story matters.
In the videos people have shared their experiences – not those diagnosed with epilepsy – but the people around them.
Our goal is simple but powerful:
To build greater understanding and empathy for people living with epilepsy.
To break down stigma and help more people feel confident responding to seizures.
Submissions for 2025 have now closed, but we’ll be running this campaign again in 2026.
A big thank you to everyone who shared their perspective – you’re helping others understand epilepsy, respond with confidence, and truly See the Person.
Want to get involved in next year’s campaign?
Email: marketing@epilepsy.org.nz
Your voice could really help others better understand epilepsy and how to respond with empathy and confidence.
Thank you for supporting Epilepsy NZ.
