It discusses everything from minimizing you...r risks of having a seizure, to teaching young children about seizures and seizure first aid, to finding material supports (changing mats, baths, baby strollers/carriers etc.) to help limit your seizure triggers while maximizing your children's safety.

"I started to realise I was fighting another battle. I suffered from memory loss, low self confidence, the fear of going out and not being able to trust your bo...dy in public, which led to isolation. I felt alone, like I wouldn't be able to speak to anyone and they wouldn't be able to understand it." To mark #WorldMentalHealthDay, we wanted to re-share this powerful video from Lawrence, as a reminder that no matter what you're going through, you are not alone See more

Mark your calendars! We are back with our Facebook Live Webinar series and this time, we're tackling the topic of disclosure. Disclosure is often a difficult ...choice for people with invisible conditions like epilepsy to make. Who do I disclose my disability to? What are the consequences, if any, of disclosure? Are there any laws to help me in this regard? How do I disclose and when? These are just some of the questions that will be explored in this informative panel discussion followed by a live Q&A that offers three distinct points of view from a job seeker, a recruiter, and a lawyer. Epilepsy Toronto’s Employment Services Manager, Carter Hammett, moderates this Facebook Live event, which will include an interactive Q&A with the panel. Join him at 2 pm on Thursday, November 5th right here on our Facebook page.
