Let’s ‘Talk About It!’

Talk About It! is an international awareness campaign that encourages open conversations about epilepsy and challenges the stigma and discrimination still faced by many people living with the condition.

Epilepsy New Zealand proudly celebrates Let’s Talk About It! each November, helping to raise awareness, promote understanding, and support inclusion across Aotearoa New Zealand.
