Support for students with epilepsy

The charity, Young Epilepsy can provide free 1 to 1 support for students with epilepsy and their families having difficulties coping with their condition.

Young Epilepsy is halfway through a three year project called 'Connect' which is funded by the Big Lottery. A full time support worker is available to work with students on a 1 to 1 basis to help them cope with any social or emotional issues they face due to their condition. They also work with their families and have set up a support network in the county to put families in touch with others facing similar issues.

We are also able to provide awareness training for schools, although we have to make a charge for this. If you would like our support worker to see one of your students, the contact details are below.
