Understanding epilepsy for family and friends - free online courses

At Epilepsy Society we understand how epilepsy can have much wider implications for family members and friends.

 

Why join our course?

Living with epilepsy can be challenging, not just for those diagnosed but also for their family and friends.

Our courses have been developed alongside people with epilepsy and their families, ensuring the content is relevant and impactful.

  • Effective support strategies: learn practical ways to assist your loved one during seizures (including information on emergency medication), and daily life
  • Knowledge: build your general epilepsy knowledge
  • Self-care: it’s also important to remember to look after yourself, our course includes information and sources of support for you
  • Resources and information: signposting to resources and information to help you navigate the challenges of epilepsy
