About Take Charge

Just how do you “Take Charge of the Facts?”
By learning all you can about epilepsy and seizures, and separating myths from facts. Seizures and You: Take Charge of the Facts is a program that you can bring to your classmates and teacher (so something different for health class one day…) that shows you common seizure types, first aid, and other students your age living with seizures. And we try to make it fun, because while epilepsy is a serious subject, it doesn’t have to be a serious burden to people who have it, and it doesn’t have to be a scary subject to you.
