By increasing public understanding, we create a supportive environment for individuals with epilepsy, promoting inclusivity and acceptance.

These workshops cover topics such as the nature of epilepsy, its causes, symptoms, and how to provide first aid during a seizure. Our interactive sessions encourage questions and discussions, fostering a deeper understanding of the condition.
