Epilepsy Awareness Month- November
November is Epilepsy Awareness Month, and we need your help!  There are many actions you can take to spread important and accurate messages about epilepsy throughout Michigan. Here are some ideas:

1.  Attend the Wellness & Epilepsy Conference
Please join us for our premier educational and networking opportunity! There is no better way to lead the fight to stop seizures than staying informed.  You will learn about the latest epilepsy research, wellness strategies, and how to take charge of epilepsy. The event also features an inspirational keynote address.

2. Join the National Epilepsy Foundation effort called "Now I Know"
For Epilepsy Awareness Month 2012, the Epilepsy Foundation launched a “Now I Know” video storytelling campaign. The campaign invited people with epilepsy, their families, their caregivers and their communities to share their experiences through a video to answer the question “What do you know now, that would have helped you at an earlier time when you were struggling with epilepsy?” Watch the videos that were submitted.

3. Share our Fact of the Day on facebook
For each day of November, the Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan featured a "Fact of the Day" on our facebook fan page. There are many ways to spread accurate messages about epilepsy, and social media is certainly one of them. Join this effort and start "sharing"!  Download the Full List of Facts.

4. Organize an Event
What is more fun than gathering together with friends and family for a good cause? Organizing an event is a great way to spread epilepsy awareness and help to provide lasting funding for our mission. For more information about this option, please visit our Organize a Fundraiser page.
