Program areas at Empowering Epilepsy

Empowering Epilepsy focuses specifically on Epilepsy Education. We provide a variety of programs and services to better educate our community members about epilepsy and seizures. We personalize that education specifically to each individual, so that people with epilepsy know how to correctly talk with their doctors about their seizure diagnosis and treatment plan. We want to walk with them, helping them navigate their path throughout their epilepsy journey. Steps in our Patient Education Program include: Client Intake, Physician referrals, Donating Gift Bags for Patients in the Epilepsy Monitoring Units at 6 Level 4 Epilepsy Centers in Northeast Ohio, Providing a Personalized Epilepsy Education Program, Providing Monthly Virtual Age Based Support Groups, Providing In-person Support Groups in Cleveland, Akron and Warren, Ohio, Providing Educational Conferences and Sessions throughout the year at our Empowering Epilepsy Headquarters, Holding Educational Booths at Health and Wellness Fairs, and providing Community Education about Epilepsy and Seizures.
