National Epilepsy Week is a vital time to raise awareness and support the rights and well-being of individuals with epilepsy. At Young Epilepsy, we are dedicated to ensuring every child with epilepsy is safe and included in school. This year's campaign highlights the importance of inclusion and education, calling on everyone to support our mission and sign our petition.
Inclusion in Schools
Children with epilepsy often face challenges in educational settings. For National Epilepsy Week 2024, we are stressing the need for schools to create inclusive environments where every student, regardless of their health condition, can thrive. By educating teachers and staff about epilepsy, implementing effective support systems, and fostering an understanding community, we can ensure that children with epilepsy receive the education they deserve.

I had to leave my school because they didn't understand my epilepsy. I was disappointed because I had to leave all my friends behind, had to leave the whole school, which I loved, and it hurt me. I miss my friends. Because my friends see me.Ruben
