I have epilepsy

We’re here for you

Epilepsy can be frightening and it can feel lonely.  Sometimes people just don't understand what you are dealing with. 

Young people living with epilepsy have told us how important it is for them to understand their condition, and how making connections  with other young people and hearing their experiences really helps. 

From trusted advice and real stories about life with epilepsy, to support services and opportunities to have your say and influence to the world around you, we're here for you. 

Mental Health Wellbeing Space

Get top tips and coping strategies and hear from other young people with epilepsy about how they are supporting their mental health wellbeing.

Your rights at school

As a young person with epilepsy, you have certain rights at school. It is your school’s responsibility to make sure you have the support you need. But it can help to know your rights and what you are entitled to.
