A new school year is an opportunity to create a safer, more supportive environment for students with epilepsy.

Preparation starts before the first bell rings. When teachers, school staff, and classmates know how to recognize and respond to a seizure, everyone benefits.

Join us TOMORROW at 3 PM CT for our FREE Seizure Recognition & First Aid training on Zoom. This training is open to anyone in the community that wants to learn!

Seize the Day Club Gives Back! 💜

A few months ago, our amazing group of young adults from Seize the Day Club came together to create special goodie bags to donate to a children’s hospital in Peoria. Recently, they had the wonderful opportunity to deliver their donations and see the impact of their kindness firsthand! 🥰

Seeing their generosity bring smiles to children and families who are going through a difficult time is a beautiful reminder of what community is all about. 💜
We are SO proud of these incredible young adults and the compassion they continue to show through Seize the Day Club! 🌟
