It's Epilepsy Awareness Month |
Our theme for November 2022 is Stronger Together Connecting Epilepsy Communities. Our campaign features the connections available for people with epilepsy and their caregivers. 78% of caregivers said that receiving a diagnosis helped them connect to other families, organizations, and communities, and 97% of those who formed connections reported that these groups are helpful. Yet, less than 60% of neurologists are referring families to these types of resources. Epilepsy Alliance America and our member organizations provide vitally needed connection opportunities for people affected by epilepsy.

Epilepsy Awareness Day was a great way to kickoff November |
Epilepsy Alliance America is proud to have attended Epilepsy Awareness Day at Disneyland hosted by our member organization, Sofie's Journey. Over 4,500 people attended the incredible Expo for education and information. Wednesday, November 2, thousands turned the park purple for a day of fun and connecting. Special thanks to Brad and Candy Levy and their fabulous team for making this 10th anniversary event an incredible experience for everyone who was fortunate to attend.
