The group provides an opportunity to discuss issues of concern to young adults living with seizures. This is a time where young adults are starting to gain their independence, enter college, find jobs, live on their own and manage their own lives. For some, if their seizures are uncontrolled, it can be a very disappointing and challenging time. This group will offer time to share information and resources, celebrate successes, discuss frustrations, and talk about living life with a seizure disorder.
