💜 Family & Youth Conference
The Family & Youth Conference is a unique and transformative three-day experience that brings together children, youth, adults, and families affected by epilepsy — to learn, grow, and connect in a supportive and empowering environment.
Held annually, this event is a true highlight of the year for many families across the region.
🎯 Who Is the Conference For?
The Family & Youth Conference is intended exclusively for clients of Epilepsy South Central Ontario and their families.
👧👦 What Youth & Children Can Expect
Children and youth living with epilepsy — and their siblings — take part in:
Age-appropriate workshops
Life skills training
Recreational activities like pony rides, archery, and rock climbing
All sessions are facilitated by trained staff experienced in epilepsy safety and seizure management.
👨👩👧👦 What Adults & Caregivers Can Expect
Parents, caregivers, and adults living with epilepsy are invited to participate in:
Expert-led sessions focused on practical tools, strategies, and current epilepsy topics
Supportive group discussions with others who share lived experience
Programming is carefully tailored for both caregivers and adults with epilepsy.
🌙 A Weekend of Connection
Evenings feature inclusive family activities designed to help everyone unwind, bond, and create meaningful memories together.
While the conference is packed with fun, it’s much more than a retreat — it’s an empowering space for learning, growth, and community.
For many families, this is a once-a-year opportunity to connect with others who truly understand their journey and walk away with new knowledge, confidence, and friendships that last far beyond the weekend.
Your generous contribution will provide much-needed funding for research, education, awareness, advocacy, and client support, with the goal of increasing the quality of life for people of all ages who are living with epilepsy every day of their lives.
