Finding a sense of support and community is vital for people living with epilepsy and their families. We offer opportunities to meet others, learn from their experiences, and connect on a personal level.
Circle of Friends Groups occur on a monthly basis with specific meetings for adults, teens, and a group for Spanish speakers. Other social events take place throughout the year for children, teens, and adults.
See a complete list of all upcoming events on our calendar.

Peer Support Program
This free 6-month program partners Mentors and Mentees. Mentors are often people who have lived with epilepsy for a while and who feel comfortable sharing their story. Mentees are usually fairly new to the epilepsy community and are looking for guidance from someone who has had epilepsy for a while.
