The goal of the Education Division is to reduce the stigma and fears associated with epilepsy so that people with seizures can live fuller lives. Some highlights of our educational program include: 

Dissemination of The National Epilepsy Foundation’s educational signature programs.
Materials are frequently developed for different populations impacted by epilepsy.  These are annually updated and include trainings for school nurses, first responders, veterans and more.  If you have a particular interest just let us know!

Community Based Educational Presentations
The Epilepsy Foundation offers presentations and seminars free of charge to any group or organization in New York City interested in learning more about epilepsy. 

Corporate Epilepsy First Aid Presentations

Educational Symposiums
The Epilepsy Foundation periodically sponsors free-of-charge workshops and symposiums highlighting emerging treatments or other topics of concern.
