If your child has Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a long-term condition and for children and young people diagnosed with epilepsy, it can have a significant impact on their quality of life including social, educational and employment activity. Active management of epilepsy improves health outcomes and can reduce emergency admissions. In addition, it can also help to support mental health and wellbeing and minimise impacts on social, educational and employment activity.
If you are a parent or carer of a child with epilepsy you and your child may feel anxious about managing the condition. Young Epilepsy is a great resource for both the young person and their parents or carers with lots of support, information and advice. You can access the website below:
