Support Groups

Support groups give people with epilepsy a chance to meet each other and discuss personal and social issues that doctors and family members may find it hard to understand. Separate groups serve the needs of adults, parents, women, and children. In recent years support groups that cater specifically to teens with epilepsy have emerged, started by hospitals, religious groups, and affiliates of Epilepsy Groups such as Epilepsy Queensland.  The number of support groups for teens with epilepsy is growing, but it is still small when compared to the many for adults with epilepsy and parents of children with epilepsy.
