NEW SUPPORT GROUP BEGINS IN SEPTEMBER

As an off-shoot of the Young Adult Activity Club (YAAC), the Epilepsy Foundation will now hold YAAC Support Group meetings. While club members have been meeting socially for some time now, many have shared they would like an additional time set aside strictly to discuss the challenges of living with epilepsy and the chance to offer support to their peers.

Support group meetings will be held 6 to 8 p.m. the second Monday of each month beginning Sept. 10. This group will target individuals ages 19 to 35. Meetings will vary from being informal with no set topic to meetings that will focus on relevant epilepsy or related issues.

If you would like to be a part of this group or have ideas or questions, please contact Karen Brown at kbrown@epilepsy-ohio.org or call 614-315-0572.
