Taking Charge of the Facts: Teens and Epilepsy
Being a teen is always difficult as it is an important transitional point in your life. Suddenly you are nearing adulthood and are faced with major decisions concerning the five D's…. drinking, dating, drugs, disclosure and depression.
Recognizing the importance of this period in a teen with epilepsy's life, the Epilepsy Foundation has instituted the Take Charge of the Facts; Teens and Epilepsy program. This program is made possible by an educational grant from the CarMax Foundation, and it features a DVD, a moderator's guide and other materials designed where a group of teens can implement the program through their peers. We are targeting teen centers, church youth groups, medical centers that offer teen-specific care, such as counseling.
