Epilepsy 101
Coping with seizures in a college enviroment
The Epilepsy Foundation of Georgia is excited to offer a new educational program: Epilepsy 101!
Epilepsy 101 is targeted towards college campus staff, including medical and health center staff members, resident advisors, and other members of the college community that serve as caregivers to students on campus living with epilepsy. Epilepsy 101 will discuss the how the transitions of college affect students with epilepsy, and the necessary lifestyle adjustments they will need to take to cope with epilepsy and seizures in their new environment. The program will address the influence that stress, sleep deprivation, alcohol and drugs, and other lifestyle changes in college have on seizures.
This educational program will consist of a presentation from an EFGA staff member or volunteer, as well as a brief look at proper seizure first aid and recognition.
Epilepsy 101 is open to colleges and universities in the state of Georgia only.
If you are interested in scheduling an Epilepsy 101 session at your institute, please contact Nicole Holubar at (404) 527-7155 or nicole@epilepsyga.org.
