When a child is diagnosed with epilepsy it affects every member of the family. Children's Healthcare of Atlanta offers a support group for patients with epilepsy and their parents and siblings.
For Parents
Caregivers receive information, education, resource sharing and emotional support. Led by Children's Healthcare providers, the group is open for parents and caregivers to share experiences.
For Children (age 7+)
Children attend a peer discussion group without their parents for 90 minutes. Participants receive tools for coping with their diagnosis in a social setting — a safe space to learn, share real life experiences and meet others. Siblings are also welcome. Led by a neuropsychology fellow and child life specialist.
When: Second Tuesday of each month (except July and August)
Time: Dinner provided at 6:00pm. Child and caregiver groups begin at 6:30pm.
Where: Support Center, 1575 Northeast Expressway, Atlanta, GA 30329
