💜 Epilepsy and Advocacy: Your Voice is Essential
Some people still believe that epilepsy is a rare condition. However, it is estimated that more than 3 million people in the United States have epilepsy. When you look at the numbers worldwide, that’s more than 65 million people living with epilepsy. With so many people affected by this condition, it is vital that we raise awareness.
🛡️ Know Your Rights and Resources
If you or someone you love has epilepsy, you should know that you have rights and deserve the same treatment as everyone else. Unfortunately, you may have to fight for those rights.
That is why the Epilepsy Foundation Texas provides resources for you and your community:
-
Advocacy: We will advocate on your behalf, working hard to provide for you. This starts with helping you access the medical resources you need to understand and manage your condition.
-
Education: We provide educational materials to teach you and others about epilepsy and its lifelong impact.
