Our member organizations provide connection points for people with epilepsy and their care partners so they know they are not alone.

Whether it's a camp in Upstate New York, a boat ride on the rivers of Pittsburgh, or a Couples Retreat in New Jersey, our member organizations are providing meaningful opportunities to connect. These experiences remind people with epilepsy that they are not on this journey alone. Check our calendar for upcoming events.  

The federal government is currently shut down, and we recognize the very real effects this may be having across our community - from patients and families facing disruptions in essential services, to researchers whose grants are on hold, and clinicians navigating new challenges in care delivery. Our thoughts are with everyone feeling these impacts. We remain hopeful that a resolution will be reached soon.

In the meantime, our shared work to advance and pass the National Plan for Epilepsy continues — because progress for our community cannot wait. 

Epilepsy Alliance America is a proud National Partner of events that provide education for people with epilepsy - empowering them to make informed decisions about their treatment plans with their health care providers.  

Epilepsy Alliance America has proudly awarded the Lorna Myers PNES Scholarships for the last five years. This is the only scholarship program in the country focused on students with functional seizures and psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.
