These programs are designed to help increase awareness for epilepsy, provide education in both schools and the workplace, seizure first aid, social activities, youth based programs and more. For more information about these programs, please follow the links. |
Educational Programs
A child spends approximately 1200 hours in school each year. It is vital that the faculty, staff and other students understand epilepsy and what to do in the instance a child has a seizure. The Epilepsy Foundation of Georgia provides many programs to help promote seizure first aid, epilepsy awareness and epilepsy education within the schools. |
Operation Outreach
As soldiers return from Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the Vietnam conflict, studies are showing a significant connection between head injuries/traumatic brain injuries (TBI) sustained in combat and epilepsy. The Epilepsy Foundation has developed Operation Epilepsy Outreach to educate veterans about epilepsy and the resources available to them. |
Seniors & Epilepsy
Most people think of seizure disorders as a medical problem that mostly strikes children. However, the demographic with the largest percentage of growth in having epilepsy are the elderly. It is the third leading neurological impairment in the elderly after Alzheimer's and stroke. |
StudioE Art Therapy Program
With Lundbeck's support, Studio E: The Epilepsy Art Therapy Program provides participants with the opportunity to express your emotions about epilepsy that may be difficult to explain to others. |
Women & Epilepsy
The Women & Epilepsy Initiative is a campaign to bring hope and help to women with epilepsy. The project is divided into initiatives to break down community and institutional barriers. |
Youth & Teen Programs
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. |
Epilepsy Youth Council
Teens and young adults with epilepsy face some unique challenges and the Youth Council will serve as the voice for this generation. |
