Advocacy

The Epilepsy Foundation of Rochester - Syracuse - Binghamton has an active grassroots advocacy network where individuals effect change in the social service delivery system at the local, state, and national levels.

At the Epilepsy Foundation of Rochester - Syracuse - Binghamton, we believe that by raising the level of awareness and teaching the general public about epilepsy, we can help reduce the fear and stigma associated with the disorder.

The Epilepsy Foundation of Rochester-Syracuse-Binghamton is currently actively seeking advocates.  Our Speak Up Speak Out Coordinator helps train interested individuals and connect them with the tools they need to effectively advocate for legislation such as the restoration of the Americans with Disabilities Act on behalf of people with epilepsy. Contact Debbie Baker, our Speak Up Speak Out Coordinator, at (585) 442-4430 x2707 if you are interested or visit the National Epilepsy Foundation advocacy page.
