It's National Epilepsy Awareness Month - let's spread knowledge and help advocate for those living with epilepsy!
November 1 marks the start of National Epilepsy Awareness Month, a time to spread awareness about this neurological disorder and show support for those living with it. Epilepsy is estimated to affect more than 3 million people in the United States alone and can vary greatly in intensity from person to person. This month is an opportunity to learn more about epilepsy, how it affects individuals and their families, as well as what we can do to support those living with it. So get ready to join us in raising awareness for National Epilepsy Awareness Month!
Events like walks, dinners, and auctions are a great way to show support for those living with epilepsy. Check out events in your community or host your own.
Share information about epilepsy on social media or join in conversations about the disorder. You can also talk to your local network of doctors, teachers, and other professionals.
Volunteer with local organizations that provide support for those living with epilepsy. You can help out by attending meetings, running errands, or providing transportation.
People living with epilepsy may need extra social support. Offer to be a friend, mentor, or confidant to someone living with the disorder.
Research to learn more about the condition and how you can help those affected by it. Read books or articles about epilepsy or talk to someone who has the disorder.
One of the main goals of National Epilepsy Awareness Month is to raise public understanding of this neurological disorder. By raising awareness, we strive to create a world where people are educated on the facts of epilepsy, instead of relying on false information or stigmas.
By raising awareness and understanding about epilepsy, we can provide support for those who live with this condition. This includes providing resources and support networks that address the unique struggles that people with epilepsy face.
Raising awareness of epilepsy also helps advocate for better treatment options. National Epilepsy Awareness Month puts a spotlight on research into the condition and the development of new therapies so individuals can get the help they need.
