Rescue Medication Administration Videos
There are many types of rescue medications for seizures.
These videos - in English and Spanish - demonstrate how to administer the most common types usually prescribed.
For Law Enforcement Officers: We realize that rules and regulations vary by jurisdiction regarding who can administer medications, and when. Please work with your department to determine what is right for you. These videos are a good resource to learn more about these treatments.
For patients: If you have any questions, please make sure to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Training Tools
This Seizure Response Training video is less than 5 minutes and walks through Seizure Response for tonic-clonic seizures.
Additionally, we have a General Seizure Recognition and Response Training. The On-Demand takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. It is ideal for family members of people with epilepsy, babysitters, co-workers, or anyone who would benefit from knowing about seizures, epilepsy and how to respond if someone has a seizure.
Seizure Action Plans
A Seizure Action Plan is not just a piece of paper, it is peace of mind.
A Seizure Action Plan is a customized tool for people with epilepsy to share what is typical for their seizure activity, how to help, and when their seizure activity is a seizure emergency.
You can download sample SAPS at the Seizure Action Coalition website.
