Stress can unfortunately be part of every facet of modern life. When caring for a child with a long-term health condition like epilepsy, this is especially true.
From our years of supporting parents and guardians of children with epilepsy, we know first hand the anxiety and worry which can come with supporting a child with epilepsy on their journey with the condition. Stress can result from a child having a seizure; treatment changes; hospital appointments; ensuring the child is included in activities while maintaining safety; explaining your child's epilepsy to others etc. These are just some examples of where a parent/guardian can experience stress as a result of supporting a loved one with the condition.
Stress can be all consuming, so in order to best support a child with epilepsy - and the wider family network - it is very important that parents/guardians are aware of how to effectively manage their stress levels. This is why we are delighted to offer a special event on stress management for parents/guardians of children living with epilepsy.
Facilitated by our Community Resource Officers Cliona & Nisha, this session will provide information on how you can self-manage your stress and share information on the tools needed for the effective management of the daily stressors that are part of modern day living.
If you feel you would benefit from this event, see details below on how to register. We look forward to welcoming adults with epilepsy from across Ireland to this online event and should you have any questions about the event, please contact Cliona or Nisha (details below).
Previous engagement with an Epilepsy Ireland Community Resource Officer (CRO) is recommended. If you haven’t had contact previously, we will direct you to your local CRO.
