About us
Helping children & families
Get appropriate advice, information and support
Finding out your child has or could have epilepsy can be a difficult time. Having a child with epilepsy can affect the whole family. We offer support services to parents and carers of children who have epilepsy. We can also help you understand the effect epilepsy can have on behaviour, learning and family life. Services range from schools awareness programs and parental support groups to youth workshops and social work assessments.
