Our Youth Empowerment Program is designed for youth and young adults between the ages of 15 and 30 living with epilepsy as well as their siblings. We offer a fun, supportive, and inclusive environment where teens and young adults can connect with one another, learn about their epilepsy, make connections/build friendships, as well as build important life skills through our support groups and workshops, as well as social and educational programming.
