From individual counseling sessions, we’ve come to recognize the importance of knowing one is not alone when facing the challenges of having a spouse with epilepsy. A number of people have expressed an interest in a peer group that can share experiences and coping strategies.
For these reasons, we have started a new group – Partners of people with Epilepsy to facilitate sharing and supporting amongst people facing similar situations.
