About us:
Epilepsy can be one of the most frightening and isolating conditions a young person can experience. The loss of any sense of safety, living in an unpredictable world, not knowing when their next seizure will happen. All this takes its toll on a child’s or young person’s mental and physical health, as well as impacting their education and social life.
Young Epilepsy is dedicated to standing up for children and young people with epilepsy. We’re here for them. It is our job to listen and work with them so they can fulfil their potential. We coordinate research that improves diagnosis and treatments. We campaign for children’s rights. We support young people in school and college. We deliver cutting edge health services and provide innovative tools, information, and practical help for living everyday life.
