Anyone with epilepsy or who has epilepsy in the family will often tell you that the greatest support and comfort comes from talking to other people who share their own epilepsy experience. There is a growing community of people called ‘Epilepsy Advocates’ who share their own stories, experience with different treatment options and offer invaluable support to other epilepsy sufferers and their families.

Sharing Your Story

Epilepsy advocates are people who live with epilepsy, either suffering from seizures themselves or providing care and support for someone who does. Each advocate has made a personal commitment to share their story in the hope that they can provide information, insight and support as well as inspiration to others that suffer from seizures. Their overriding message is that epilepsy is just something that you have, but it doesn’t define who you are.
