Community Education

The Epilepsy Foundation makes a continuous effort to educate the general public about epilepsy.  Our public education programs include workshops and presentations for a variety of general and specific audiences, such as:

• Schools (teachers and administrators, nurses, classes, and ancillary service personnel such as bus drivers and others)
• Other human services agencies
• Community organizations
• Business and industry of all kinds

Our programs and presentations emphasize: 

• causes of epilepsy 
• fallacies and myths 
• seizure types
• first aid 
• parenting issues 
• employment concerns 
• understanding and support 
• new medical treatments for epilepsy
