Youth & Young Adult Support groups.
Being a teenager or a young adult is viewed as the best years of your life. It is supposed to be filled with fun and excitement as you make memories with your friends! For many young people nowadays, being young isn’t always super fun. Young people are expected to balance school, employment, and social life all at once. This can be a challenge for any young person; however, having all those challenges on top of a medical condition, such as epilepsy, can prove to be an even greater challenge. Epilepsy South Central Ontario has a Youth Empowerment Program designed to assist youth and young adults with the challenges they may face.
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.
Our teen peer support group is designed for teens who are between the ages of 15 and 18 who are living with epilepsy as well as their siblings.
Meetings are held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month from 6 pm – 8 pm.
Our young adult support group is designed for youth and young adults who are between the ages of 19 and 30 who are living with epilepsy as well as their siblings.
Meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month from 6 pm – 8 pm.
At this time, all meetings are virtual and held via Zoom.
