We Support People Living with Epilepsy.
Epilepsy New Zealand works to ensure that:
– all people with epilepsy have access to information relevant to their age and condition
– employers understand epilepsy and how to respond to the needs of their people living with epilepsy
– teachers understand children’s epilepsy and how to ensure they achieve a better education
– people understand and manage their epilepsy well
– society understands epilepsy so that people with the condition feel connected and included in the community.
We do this by delivering:
– support programmes for people and families living with epilepsy
– education and training tailored for individuals, families, schools, workplaces and community settings
– information and resources
– community awareness programmes
Epilepsy New Zealand is the voice for people living with epilepsy.
