EPILEPSY ASSOCIATION OF CALGARY

Did you know over 16,000 Albertans between the ages of 0 and 24 are diagnosed with epilepsy? This statistic underscores the critical importance of reaching out to younger individuals affected by this condition. The stigma and fear surrounding an epilepsy diagnosis, especially during childhood or adolescence, often result in isolation and limited access to essential resources and support.

Investing in youth programming at the EAC enables us to break down barriers and empower young people to thrive despite their epilepsy diagnosis. Early intervention and support are pivotal in setting them up for success as adults living with epilepsy. Your contribution can significantly impact their journey towards a brighter, more inclusive future.
