Did you know that November is national Epilepsy Awareness Month?
Living with epilepsy can have its challenges. Epilepsy can affect a person’s emotional health in many ways. Emotional health is important for people with epilepsy, family members, caregivers and friends. With the power of our community, we can bring hope to those experiencing the challenges of epilepsy.
Learn more about epilepsy:
- 1 in 10 people will have a seizure and 1 in 26 will develop epilepsy during their lifetime. We need more people to learn seizure first aid to help save a life.
- There are 470,000 children in the U.S. living with epilepsy. Kids can change the world by educating those around them.
- Epilepsy receives 10 times less funding than other brain disorders. We need to raise funds for care, advocacy, research and education.
