Our member organizations offer support for people with epilepsy, caregivers of people with epilepsy and in some cases, siblings of people with epilepsy.

Why a support group?

Epilepsy is a hidden disorder. Despite how common it is fear and stigma exist. It's easy to feel isolated and alone. Members of support groups share experience, engage in advocacy, provide information and help each other. A support group can provide a safe space to talk about the impact of epilepsy and seizures and how to overcome those challenges.

VIRTUAL SUPPORT GROUPS - participate from home

Below you will find a calendar of upcoming Support Group Meetings that are held VIRTUALLY by our member organizations and open to anyone from across the country.
