WELCOME! Thank you for visiting our website!

To all the family caregivers of epilepsy patients.....thank you for all you do - day in and day out - to ensure the safety of your loved one.  Your dedication and compassion is endless, your days and nights are often long and the number of tears you cry are countless - but you never give up.  You wipe away the tears and then go the extra mile.   YOU are AMAZING! Know that all you do is not in vain....your loved one may not always be able to say "thank you" but the smiles and hugs are their way of telling you.  

From all of us, to all of you - YOU ARE LOVED!

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals are looking for adults (18 years or older) who have a diagnosis of epilepsy and within the past 6 months have experienced a negative health event (seizure, ER visit, hospitalization, accident, etc.) to help test a group educational experience designed to help people manage their health and reduce the risk of future negative events. The program lasts 18 months and includes 6 assessment visits where individuals are asked about their health and wellness, and 8 group sessions co led by a nurse and peer educator. All visits and groups are virtual (over zoom or phone call) and individuals are compensated for their time (for the 6 assessment visits).
