Advocacy

The Epilepsy Foundation of Missouri & Kansas has an active grassroots advocacy network where consumers effect change in the social service delivery system at the local, state, and national levels. Development of services are provided by individual advocacy and systems advocacy.

For further information on who represents you, please contact the League of Women Voters.

At the Epilepsy Foundation of Missouri & Kansas, we believe that by raising the level of awareness and teaching the general public about epilepsy, we can help reduce the fear and stigma associated with the disorder. If you are interested in advocating for epilepsy, contact us at (314) 962-3900.

Please check back as we will be adding a Missouri and Kansas state advocacy day in February that we would invite you to participate in!

Advocates can speak up at any age!  One advocate is a young boy who went to Washington to lobby his Representatives on issues that affect people with seizure disorders.  You can read his story below.
