Epilepsy Connections

Multicultural Project

Epilepsy Connections promotes awareness of epilepsy issues and provides bilingual and culturally sensitive information and support to people affected by epilepsy within ethnic minority communities.

Members of ethnic minority communities can discuss their circumstances in confidence with staff who have an in-depth understanding of a range of cultural perspectives.

Listen to the experiences of a young woman from the BME community coming to terms with epilepsy and working through the myths that exist regarding epilepsy.
