We know how the teenage years can be one of the most stressful periods for a person living with epilepsy - and we know it’s a time when many teenagers do not want to think or speak about epilepsy.
However, from our years of serving the epilepsy community, we’ve heard from now-adults about how they never knew anyone with epilepsy growing up and many feel that they would've benefited in later years from being more comfortable about discussing their epilepsy from an earlier age with those around them. This is why we established 'Teen Time'.
This online group brings young people with epilepsy (aged 13-17) from across Ireland together in a safe environment where they can either discuss their own personal journey with epilepsy with others who know what they’re going through - or to just have a general catch-up with their peers.
Details of upcoming Teen Time sessions can be found by visiting the 'Events' section of our website.
