Epilepsy Connections

Living Well with Epilepsy in Forth Valley

Introduced to Forth Valley in June 2006, this service offers Living Well with Epilepsy courses in venues throughout the Forth Valley area. Each course lasts 6 weeks. People with epilepsy, family members, friends and carers get together for 2 hours each week. The focus is on improving well being and topics include:

• What is epilepsy?
• Managing seizures
• Living with medication
• Balancing risk and safety
• Improving your memory
• Coping with stress
• Epilepsy and employment

Workshops include talks, group discussions, guest speakers, videos and quizzes and are a fun way to learn more about epilepsy and share experiences with others.

After completing the course, participants will be offered the chance to undertake training and go on to deliver Living Well with Epilepsy workshops to other groups of people living with epilepsy.
