RESOURCES AND SUPPORT

 

Epilepsy presents many challenges for persons who are afflicted by it, their family, friends and peers. It is important for teachers and educators, employers and employees, first responders and medical professionals to better understand seizures and epilepsy. This will help them to provide better support and assistance for individuals who experience seizures or epilepsy. The Edmonton Epilepsy provides various resources, information, videos, webinars, educational programs and other supports to help.
