About us
Empowering Epilepsy connects people with epilepsy to experts and peers for education, care, and friendship. We anchor a caring community that empowers our members and their loved ones to better understand and manage their treatment plan throughout their epilepsy journey.
Despite the fact that 1 in 26 people will eventually be diagnosed with epilepsy at some point in their lifetime - the vast majority of those with epilepsy feel isolated and alone.
They have never met or talked with anyone else who also experiences epilepsy, and they find few resources and help outside of their neurologist’s office.
Empowering Epilepsy was founded in 2014 by people with epilepsy, for people with epilepsy, to meet this dire need for learning, emotional, and disease management support.
We strive to help people with epilepsy find proactive ways to lessen their seizures, meet others who are also living with epilepsy, listen and speak with experts, and discover resources and opportunities to empower their lives. Our ultimate goal is to anchor a global community of support and learning for our members and their loved ones.
On March 26, 2022, we held the Grand Opening Celebration of our Empowering Epilepsy Headquarters, located in Beachwood, Ohio. We have a variety of events and programs to help people with epilepsy discover what they CAN do while living with seizures. Check out the video below from our Grand Opening to learn more about us.
