Young Epilepsy Connect Project
20 January 2016
Advice and guidance from Young Epilepsy, a national charity working exclusively with children and young people 25 and under with epilepsy and associated conditions.
Young Epilepsy has just begun a 3 year Big Lottery Funded Project called ‘Connect’.
One to one sessions and group activities for young people with epilepsy and their parents will be provided to increase students’ engagement and participation in school, boost their confidence, goals and aspirations and help them overcome issues more prevalent in young people with epilepsy such as anxiety, isolation and depression.
Teachers from any school in Kent can make referrals by completing the attached referral form and email it to sabualia@youngepilepsy.org.uk.
Further information on the project can be found here.
As well as direct work with children and young people and their families, Young Epilepsy can also provide epilepsy awareness courses for teachers and other professionals.
