CONNECTIONS

Issue 51: December, 2025

 National Community. Local Solutions.

November was Epilepsy Awareness Month! Throughout the month, we highlighted the many ways our network supports local epilepsy communities. From seizure recognition and response trainings to connection events, city proclamations, and illuminated landmarks, our member organizations made epilepsy awareness shine brightly across the nation!

Seizure Safety this Holiday Season 

The holiday season brings plenty of joy and celebration. It can also introduce added stressors that may negatively affect people with epilepsy. Explore these tips to help you stay safe, healthy, and prepared throughout the holidays.

PAME and AES conferences in Atlanta, Georgia

Epilepsy Alliance America representatives attended the Partners Against Mortality in Epilepsy (PAME) meeting in Atlanta, GA, followed by exhibiting at the American Epilepsy Society Annual Meeting. You can learn more Epilepsy Alliance America's participation at the conferences here.  

Epilepsy Awareness Day at Disneyland  

Epilepsy Alliance America is proud to serve as a National Partner for events that provide vital education to people with epilepsy—empowering them to make informed decisions about their treatment alongside their healthcare providers. We were honored to spend time with our sponsored families at this meaningful gathering, learning from medical experts and building connections with others impacted by epilepsy.

The excitement continues. Next year we’ll double the fun with the very first Epilepsy Awareness Day at Disney World in Orlando, FL in April 2026, followed by the 14th annual Epilepsy Awareness Day at Disneyland in November 2026!

Registration is open for Epilepsy Awareness Day at Disney World. Join us!
