Seizure Action Plan Awareness Week 2024

Are your family and friends educated about your seizures AND empowered to take the appropriate action if you have a seizure? 

Are you trained in CPR? Can you do the Heimlich? Knowing what to do if someone has a seizure is equally important! Get educated and empowered to respond! 

Seizure Action Plan Awareness Week features a social media campaign and website designed to highlight the need for people with epilepsy, their caregivers and healthcare providers to develop detailed plans for when a seizure occurs. 

Epilepsy Alliance America is proud to be the coalition's managing organization with more than 60 awareness partners.
